Description
Blue oat grass is a reliable, vigorous ornamental grass species, growing in clumps of grassy foliage. Its narrow leaves form an attractive contrasting texture in the garden, with a color changing from green to blue in the summer. In the late summer and fall, blue oat grass bears panicles of spike-like flowers that are silvery-gray in color. It's an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens, and is tolerant of drought and windy conditions. It also offers good year-round interest, since the foliage remains attractive even when not in bloom. Blue oat grass is a great addition for any garden looking for an easy-care grass.
