Green Alder vs Tall Manna GrassAlnus crispa Glyceria grandis SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (we don't know if or when this product will be restocked) 
Green Alder is a cold hardy, native shrub. It is often planted on infertile sites so it can fix nitrogen from the air and improve the soil quality.
Manna Grass and other waterside plants are an excellent way to prevent erosion and provide habitat and forage for animals. The difference is that Manna Grass looks better doing it! With distinctive purple grains at the top of its stalks, Manna Grass adds a splash of color to the waterside that most other aquatics can't offer. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSTALL MANNA GRASS QUICK FACTS
