Helictotrichon sempervirens - Blue Oat Grass

Market price from $3.20 to $8.80

Helictotrichon sempervirens is also recognized as Blue Oat Grass, a perennial grass marked by aesthetic charisma and essential hardiness. Standing up to 2-3 feet tall and wide, this ornamental grass creates a striking profile with its sleek, spiky, blue-gray foliage, creating an alluring centerpiece or an architectural accent to any landscape. In the summer, it produces elegant, straw-colored flower spikes that add a hint of soft contrast to its cooler tones. Blue Oat Grass thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires minimal water, boasting exceptional drought tolerance. As winter arrives, it doesn't lose its charm; instead, it sustains its vivid foliage color, providing an evergreen accent that promises year-round interest irrespective of the season.
