Panicum nervosum, commonly known as Blue Panic Grass, is a perennial grass native to South America, including savanna ecosystems, open grasslands, and woodlands. It exhibits a moderate growth rate and typically reaches a height of 1.5-3 feet (0.46-0.9 meters). This species forms tufted clumps with narrow, upright leaves and produces airy panicles of small, blue-green flowers during its blooming season, which add a delicate texture to garden settings.

Blue Panic Grass is valued for its drought tolerance and its ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a suitable choice for low-maintenance landscapes. It is often used in naturalistic plantings, as an accent in borders, or for erosion control on slopes. Gardeners appreciate its adaptability to various soil types, including sandy or loamy soils, provided they have medium drainage. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate light shade. It is important to note that, despite its preference for drier conditions, it should not be allowed to dry out completely. There are no major disease or pest issues associated with Panicum nervosum, but it can self-seed and may require management to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
