Helictotrichon sempervirens

Blue Oat Grass

A slightly larger and coarser version of a clumping blue Fescue Grass, these striking grasses require full sun and good drainage. Good in rock gardens. Start by seed or division. Remove old foliage by running your fingers through its airy clumps of foliage and gently pulling the old leaves out. Insects rarely attack grasses.

One of the best of all medium-sized clumping grasses with finely textured, foliage forming a dense mound. Tiny, straw-colored flowers rise 1 to 2 feet in summer. Foliage lasts until early winter.
