Koeleria glauca

Overview

Grey-blue koeleria (Koeleria glauca) is a cool-season grass native to North America. It is a vigorous, clump-forming grass that has an open spike-like inflorescence. It is often used as an ornamental species, popular in meadows and rock gardens. Grey-blue koeleria is drought and salt tolerant and grows well in poor soil. Its fine-textured, blue-green foliage is often the highlight of gardens in late spring and early summer. It is an excellent choice for naturalizing or as part of a native conservation project.
