Poa sylvestris, commonly known as Woodland Bluegrass, is an evergreen perennial grass native to moist, shaded woodlands and forest understories in the Eastern United States. It typically grows to a height of 0.5-2 feet (0.2-0.6 meters) and a width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters). This grass is characterized by its fine-textured foliage and soft, blue-green color. It is not particularly showy, but it forms a dense, low-growing turf that can be quite attractive in the right setting.

Woodland Bluegrass is valued for its ability to thrive in shaded conditions where many other grasses struggle. It is often used for ground cover in woodland gardens, naturalized areas, and as a filler in shaded borders. It requires consistently moist soil and does not tolerate drought well. While it prefers full shade, it can also tolerate partial shade. It is not commonly affected by diseases or pests, but it can suffer in overly dry or sunny conditions. This grass is not known for being invasive and is a good choice for gardeners looking to maintain a natural aesthetic in shaded parts of their landscape.CC BY-SA 4.0
