dry grass

Withered prairie vegetation

Dry grass is grass that has lost its moisture—whether from seasonal dormancy, drought, or having been cut and cured.

The term often carries connotations of fire risk: The dry grass ignited instantly.

Dried grass cut for animal feed is hay.

The hillside was covered in dry grass by late summer.
