Poa palustris

$4.00

Fowl Bluegrass is a cool-season, clump-forming native that brings early green-up, erosion control, and critical wildlife value to wetland and riparian projects. It produces graceful, fine-textured foliage topped with open, airy seed heads in late spring to early summer, while the light green leaves provides an attractive ground cover that establishes quickly. The rare combination of quick establishment, moisture tolerance, and ecological function makes this a critical plant in restoring wetlands or creating a naturalized lowland landscape.
