Blue Hills Meadow Grass (Poa glauca ‘Blue Hills’) is a compact ornamental grass prized for its icy blue foliage and refined, tidy shape. Its soft, narrow leaves form dense mounds that add cool-toned contrast to rock gardens, borders, xeric landscapes, and modern plantings. In summer, airy flower panicles rise above the foliage and sway gracefully in the breeze, giving the plant a light, natural movement without becoming messy or aggressive.

This hardy little grass thrives in sunny, well-drained sites and handles cold winters exceptionally well, making it a strong choice for mountain and high-desert gardens. ‘Blue Hills’ keeps its attractive blue color through much of the year and pairs beautifully with flowering perennials, boulders, and drought-tolerant plantings. It offers a polished look with very little maintenance, especially once established.
