When to plant blue oat grass

Blue oat grass is a cool-season, semi-evergreen clumping perennial grass grown for its blue foliage and established by division. Set out new plants or divisions in spring as growth resumes; NC State notes the best blue color appears in dry, well-drained conditions.

Blue Oat Grass is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
