Bulbous bluegrass
Poa bulbosa
Bulbous bluegrass is a tough, low-maintenance cool-season grass that spreads via distinctive bulbous bases and bulbils, making it naturally self-propagating. It tolerates dry conditions once established and works well in meadow plantings, slopes, or as ground cover in part shade. Water sparingly and avoid overwatering, as it is adapted to relatively dry, well-drained soils.
