Fowl bluegrass
Poa palustris
Fowl bluegrass is a cool-season perennial grass that excels in moist, shaded to partially shaded environments such as woodland edges, stream banks, and low-lying areas. It requires minimal care once established and is an excellent choice for naturalizing difficult wet or shady spots in the landscape. Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during dry summer months.
