Wiregrass

Wiregrass refers to a type of tall, hardy grass native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. It’s named after the wire-like appearance of its seed stalks. Wiregrass thrives in sandy soils and open plains, forming dense, natural patches that serve as important habitat for wildlife. Beyond its ecological role, it’s also used for landscaping and soil stabilization. The term "Wiregrass" can also refer to a region in Florida known for its natural grasslands, agriculture, and rural communities, shaping local identity and economy.
