Poa poiformis var. poiformis

Poa poiformis var. poiformis, or Coast Tussock Grass, is a hardy, clump-forming perennial grass native to Australia, commonly found in coastal dunes, cliffs, and sandy areas. Growing up to 80 cm tall and wide, it features fine, arching blue-green foliage and slender flower stems of the same height that produce soft, feathery seed heads in spring and summer, adding texture and movement to coastal landscapes.

This species thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun, salt spray, wind, and drought, making it an excellent choice for coastal stabilization, dune restoration, and erosion control. Coast Tussock Grass also provides habitat and food for insects and small wildlife, contributing to biodiversity in coastal ecosystems.

With its resilience to harsh coastal conditions, attractive foliage, and ecological benefits, Poa poiformis var. poiformis is a versatile and valuable addition to native coastal gardens, revegetation projects, and sustainable landscaping designs.
