Fun facts:
The name "Poverty Oat Grass" comes from the plant's ability to grow in poor, nutrient-deficient soils. It thrives in dry, rocky, and sandy areas where the soil doesn't have much in terms of nutrients, hence the "poverty" part of the name.
This grass is important for wildlife! Its seeds provide food for birds like sparrows and finches, while its dense clumps offer shelter to small animals and insects.
