Park update: From 7am – 3:30pm on Monday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 19, the High Line will be partially closed between 23rd and 30th Streets due to construction. Visitors can enter and exit at the 23rd Street stair/elevator and the 30th/10th Street stair. The entrances from Hudson Yards, the Connector, and the Spur remain open.
Allium obliquum
One of several distinctive alliums on the High Line, this delicate plant’s close relation to the garlic we eat is obvious from its unmistakable scent.
Andropogon gerardii
The tallest member of the North American tallgrass prairies, this grass plays a starring role in the High Line’s signature naturalistic aesthetic.
Eryngium yuccifolium
Native to North American prairies, this perennial is often used in prairie restoration projects, in part because it provides nectar for many insects.
Iris fulva
Fulva is latin for “tawny;” this red and orange iris is a favorite of hummingbirds, which are known to be the plant’s primary pollinators.
Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’
This warm-season grass is native to North America, but the amazing burgundy ‘Shenandoah’ cultivar was actually bred in Germany.
The High Line is beautiful thanks in large part to individual supporters like you. Members provide the tools and resources our gardeners need to keep the gardens open to everyone for seasons to come.
