With bluish-green blades reaching 2-3 feet tall, it thrives in full sun across USDA zones 4-9. This bunchgrass' deep roots stabilize soil, and its dense growth offers erosion control. Ideal for naturalistic designs, it provides food for wildlife while requiring minimal care, making it a sustainable choice for landscape designs.
