Poa Snow Baby 140MM

Poa sieberiana 'Snow Baby'

I am Poa Snow Baby. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Strappy - I am hardy
Plant family Poaceae
I am a compact tussock grass-like perennial whose fine grey-green foliage adds contrast against other plants in the garden. I have a lovely rounded habit and produce baby-blue flower spikelets in spring and summer. I am a very hardy plant that can tolerate frosty conditions and I only need minimal water once I am established. Given my compact size I am perfect for planting in garden borders and beside paths, as well as for erosion control. If you prune me back in late winter or early spring, you will be rewarded with fresh new growth.
I am popular and will make you happy because...

I am tolerant to both frost and drought conditions
