Description
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.

I like it a lot.
"Seems to stay mostly evergreen over the winter actually. Has a really nice blue tint to the foliage which doesn't come across great in photos. Flowers really early in the season, great on low water in cooler summer locations. Gives a great sense of place feel and goes great with other western natives like; sagebrush, rabbitbrush, saltbrush, penstemons, and eriogonums."
It's doing well. I might expand it into a group.
"Some of the plants I ordered last fall didn't make it over the winter but, the oat grass has been excellent ."
Beautiful and fine textured blue foliage
"I have several of these in my new plant wildlife garden and they have really established quickly. No seed heads yet, probably next year. I love how narrow their leaves are compares to the basin wild rye it is planted near."
