|discussion=<p><i>Agropyron fragile</i> is native from the southern Volga basin through the Caucasus to Turkmenistan and Mongolia. It is more drought-tolerant than <i>A. cristatum</i>. Within the Flora region, <i>A. fragile</i> appears to be uncommon outside of experimental plantings. This may change as more cultivars become available.</p>
