Danthonia

Danthonia californica var. californica full sun  partial shade

Spry, bright green blades often with purple tips, fashion a dense nearly evergreen tuft that’s second-to-none for a meadow planting or a small verdant lawn. Indigenous to our inland mountains and coastal ranges, California Oatgrass produces airy 18 in. flower stems with pendant buff-colored spikelets. This leafy bunchgrass is a stalwart hard worker that stabilizes soil, resists deer, withstands foot traffic and prefers minimal summer water.

Blooms April – May.

Size: 18"–2' high x 15" wide; hardy to zone 8.
