Description:
Coastal Panicgrass is a clump-forming, warm season, perennial grass. The flowers become compact clusters of seed heads, September-February. Arching blue foliage adds color and texture to the garden landscape. It prefers infertile, sandy loams and is salt-tolerant, making it a good choice for coastal yards. Use Coastal Panicgrass in borders, in meadows, or as accent plants. It can also be used to provide erosion control on seaside dunes and roadsides.
