Introducing a prostrate form of kangaroo grass, selected for its dense growth habit, great grey-blue to maroon foliage and low-growing habit.
A seedling selection from another weeping form called Mingo, Blu Roo was selected because it has the same great foliage and form, but with a more “full” look.
Bloom: Red-brown spike-lets with prominent awns and spathes borne on branched stems, so heavy they often lay over and sit directly on the sprays of foliage. Blooms in summer.
Plant in a protected area in colder climates Full sun, low-moderate water requirements.
Best for informal gardens; use in mass, borders or as a specimen.
