Narrowleaf Silkgrass is a Florida native that blooms during the summer and fall. It's easily identified by the dense silky hairs that cover the stems and leaves which gives the plant a grayish green appearance. The species latin name graminifolia refers to the long, grass like leaves. This plant will form dense colonies in the wild by underground rhizomes and by self seeding.

Narrowleaf Silkgrass is a food source for the Gopher Tortoise.
