Design with this plant

Overview

California Bentgrass (Agrostis densiflora) is a fine-textured, evergreen perennial grass thriving in USDA zones 7-10. Preferring partial shade, it forms a dense, deep green mat, reaching 6-12 inches tall. Ideal for cool, coastal regions, it tolerates moist conditions but needs well-drained soil. Low maintenance, it's an excellent groundcover, erosion control, or lawn alternative. Mow occasionally to maintain a tidy appearance. Water moderately, reducing frequency once established.
