Lagunita Creeping Wildrye

Lagunita Creeping Wildrye (Leymus triticoides 'Lagunita') is a high-performance California native grass prized for its stunning steel-blue foliage and its ability to solve tough landscaping problems. 'Lagunita' is a more compact and refined selection of the species, featuring narrow, architectural blades that form a shimmering blue mat. It is an excellent choice for erosion control, large-scale groundcover, or as a water-wise lawn alternative for areas with minimal foot traffic.

As a resilient member of the Leymus genus, this grass is incredibly tough and adaptable. It spreads via underground rhizomes, making it a "living anchor" for slopes and hillsides. While it looks delicate with its fine-textured blue leaves, it is surprisingly drought-tolerant and can handle a wide range of soil types, from heavy clay to sandy coastlines. In summer, elegant wheat-like flower spikes rise above the foliage, adding movement and a rustic charm to the landscape.

Why you’ll love it:

• Stunning Blue Texture: Intense steel-blue color that adds a cool, calming presence to sunny gardens.
• Erosion Control Expert: Deep-rooted rhizomes make it the perfect solution for stabilizing banks and hillsides.
• Native Hardiness: Adapted to the California climate; once established, it requires very little water.
• Refined Habit: More compact than the species, making it suitable for residential gardens and borders.
