Poa ammophila
Also called Hartz Bluegrass
Hartz's Bluegrass (Poa ammophila) is a small perennial grass in the Poaceae family, native only to the Mackenzie River delta in northern Canada and grown in gardens as a curiosity rather than a common ornamental. It grows up to about 30 cm tall and is classified as vulnerable in the wild, so it is best sourced from reputable seed suppliers rather than wild collection.
Poa ammophila, also known by the common name sand bluegrass, is a species of grass in the Pooideae subfamily and Poa genus. It is endemic to the delta region of the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories and Yukon territories of Canada. It occurs mainly above the tree line and can grow up to about 1 foot tall, blooming in July and August. It is currently classified as vulnerable.
