Pine Bluegrass
Poa secunda has a moderate growth rate beginning in early spring up to about 1.5-3 ft. Space 1’0″ apart.
It looks particularly beautiful, leaves and stems having a blueish cast and lemma tips that are typically purplish. At full flowering, white stamens dangle from their florets in the breeze.
Leaves are not abundant and die back soon after flowering.
An excellent choice for its extreme drought tolerance and remarkable ability to produce a strong fibrous root system that suppresses weed growth.
