Poa secunda v. juncifolia (Mini Oat Grass) is a Western native grass with blue-green foliage. Seeds emerge on stiff foliage and open up to create pale feathery fronds. In summer dry season, grass matures to a warm gold hue. A highly resilient and drought-resistant grass that serves as a host plant for many butterflies, its upright habit and seed textures are a beautiful addition to waterwise landscapes, including high elevations.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Poa secunda v. juncifolia (Mini Oat Grass) is a Blue Oat Grass lookalike, with similar growth pattern and blue-grey foliage, and is a great option for gardeners look for a similar look with a native plant alternative. This grass has many common names, including pine bluegrass, rush bluegrass, wild bluegrass, big bluegrass, and more. Commonly found in northern, southern, and central California, as well as North Dakota, New Mexico, and southern Canada, it tends to grow at elevations from 2600-10,000 feet. Indigenous Americans, including such as the Gosiute of Utah, have used Poa secunda for food. It is a host plant for many butterflies and moths. This grass is highly drought resistant and is a good choice for erosion control or revegetation and habitat restoration in dry areas.
