Broadleaf meadow grass
Poa chaixii
Broadleaf meadow grass is a shade-tolerant ornamental grass well suited to woodland edges, naturalized areas, and informal garden settings. It prefers partial shade and average moisture, forming attractive clumps of broad, lush foliage. Very little maintenance is required; simply cut back old growth in late winter to encourage fresh spring growth.
