Helictotrichon
sempervirens, the Blue Oat Grass looks like a really large grey
fescue. The Blue Oat Grass will typically grow to a foot or more in
height. Tan flowering spikes extend a few inches beyond the foliage
in the Spring. Helictotrichon sempervirens is evergreen
near the coast. Where temperatures dip into the teens Helictotrichon
sempervirens plants will
look a little tattered and will look their best if cut back close to the
base at the end of the season. Helictotrichon sempervirens grows in full sun or light
shade. Blue Oat Grass is tolerant of dry conditions but prefers
regular water.
