FEATURES

Helictotrichon sempervirens, or Blue Oat Grass, is a striking cool-season ornamental grass that adds texture, movement, and steel-blue color to the landscape. Its narrow, arching blades form a tidy, rounded clump, topped in summer by tall oat-like flower spikes. Exceptionally drought tolerant and low maintenance, it shines in mixed borders, rock gardens, and modern landscapes.
