Native to moist areas along the coast this perennial grass spreads by creeping rhizomes to form tufted drifts. Effective as a component of a meadow or as a small scale groundcover. Typically at its best in situations where it is either unmown or infrequently mown. The 6 - 12 inch tall blue-gray blades have a soft flowing appearance. The grass flowers rise above the foliage in loose panicles. Plant in full sun to light shade. Not as thirsty as a lawn but does require regular water inland. Not suitable for hot, dry interior locales. Deer resistant.
