Supina bluegrass is a hardy, low-growing perennial grass that thrives in cool, partially shaded conditions with consistent moisture. It works well as a lawn grass or ground cover in areas where full-sun grasses struggle. Mow lightly and water regularly during dry spells to keep it looking its best.
