Tussock grasses or
bunch grasses are found as
native plants in natural
ecosystems, as
forage in
pastures, and as
ornamental grasses in gardens. Tussock and bunch grasses, in the
Poaceae family, are
grasses that usually grow as singular plants in clumps, tufts, hummocks, or bunches, rather than forming a
sod or
lawn, in
meadows,
grasslands, and prairies. As
perennial plants usually, they live more than one season.
