Hairy Woodrush is a small, native grass-like plant of cool, moist forest floors across eastern and central North America. It is one of the earliest wildflowers to bloom in spring, often while snow still persists. Its small seeds are eaten by ground-feeding birds and rodents, and it provides ground-level structure in forest understories.
