Helictotrichon sempervirens Blue Oat Grass

Clump forming, wiry, vivid blue-gray leaves radiate out from the center to form a bristling round dome of foliage to 2 feet tall (like a form of a large pincushion). The flower plumes are white to beige and are borne on tall stems (sparse flowing in hot/humid weather).

Moderately drought tolerant. Use a stiff rake annually to remove old foliage. Interesting companion plantings are Russian Sage and Sedum 'Ruby Glow' or 'Autumn Joy'. Plants growing in excessive shade make weak growth and have an open habit.
