blue oat grass

Overview

Blue oat grass has beautiful, steel-blue foliage that provides great architectural interest for your garden. It has long, stiff blades that form an upright growth habit, and reaches heights of approximately three feet tall in optimal SunLight conditions. It can tolerate both droughts and relatively moist soil. It is ideal for xeriscapes or rock gardens due to its drought tolerance. It is also deer resistant and salt tolerant. It is a perennial cool-season grass, and as temperatures begin to rise the foliage will slowly turn tan and eventually cease its growth in hot summer months. It may still send up a few last stems that bloom beautiful white-colored seed heads in early summer. Blue oat grass is easy to maintain with minimal pruning and can bring life to any garden with its lush texture and color.
