Description:
Poa poiformis is a distinctive grass species native to New Zealand. It is characterised by its tufted growth habit and attractive blue-green foliage. The grass forms dense clumps of upright, narrow leaves that arch gracefully at the tips. The leaves are soft and fine-textured, adding a delicate and ornamental touch to the landscape. Poa poiformis produces flowering stems that rise above the foliage, bearing small, inconspicuous flowers. This grass is highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of growing conditions, including full sun to partial shade and a range of soil types. Great for coastal sites, erosion control, urban or commercial landscapes. Grows to approx. 1m H x W.
