It makes an excellent habitat for waterfowl and can be found along the Pacific coast between Alaska and California, as well as throughout the Rocky Mountain states. It tolerates acidic soils with above average amounts of saline. It can also grow in semiarid ground and is either a cool season annual or a short-lived perennial grass.
