Q: How large does Blue Oat Grass get?
A: It forms a dense, tidy fountain mound, typically reaching 2-3 feet in both height and spread.

Q: How much sun does it need for the best blue color?
A: For the most intense silver-blue foliage, plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). In partial shade, the foliage will fade to a duller green-blue.

Q: Is it drought tolerant?
A: Yes, once established, it is drought tolerant. Water regularly during its first year, then little to no supplemental water is needed. It thrives in well-drained soils.

Q: Is it evergreen?
A: Yes, it is evergreen in mild winter climates, retaining its striking blue-gray foliage year-round. In colder zones, it may be semi-evergreen.

Q: When does it bloom?
A: It blooms in late spring to early summer, producing tall, elegant oat-like flower spikes that rise above the foliage.

Q: How should I prune it?
A: In late winter or early spring, rake through the clump to remove dead or winter-damaged foliage. Avoid cutting back hard, as this can damage the plant. If needed, divide clumps in early spring every 3-4 years.
