They occur mainly in grassland in N. temperate regions, with one species from Argentina. They have linear, flat or rolled, stiff, glaucous leaves, and bear narrowly linear racemes of usually paired, sometimes solitary spikelets in summer. The ornamental species are grown for the architectural value of their blue-green leaves; although invasive, they are also suitable for a mixed or herbaceous border.
