Bluejoint

Calamagrostis canadensis var. langsdorffii, commonly known as Bluejoint, is a perennial grass native to wetland areas across North America, particularly in the northern regions. This variety typically grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet, forming dense, upright clumps that create a striking vertical presence in the landscape. The leaves are narrow, elongated, and have a distinctive blue-green hue, which adds to its ornamental appeal. In late spring to early summer, Bluejoint produces feathery flower spikes that can reach up to 12 inches in length, transitioning from a soft green to a golden hue as they mature, and eventually releasing small, wind-dispersed seeds that contribute to its propagation in suitable habitats.
