Poverty Oatgrass (7 Cubic Inch)

Poverty Oatgrass (Danthonia spicata) is a petite perennial bunchgrass that forms little tufts of curly grass. It receives its description as “poverty” grass due to its ability to survive in some of the poorest, sandiest, and most nutrient-low soils. These characteristics make it a great low-maintenance addition to any native plant garden or yard.
