Blue Oat Grass is a cool season evergreen grass with very narrow and spiky steel-blue foliage creating a porcupine like clump. Spikelets of one-sided panicles open to blueish-brown flowers in summer and mature to golden wheat by fall. Prefers full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils. Has good rust resistance.
