@MichaelMulvaney Could this be Eragrostis curvula? It has the typical bluish colour and the dense panicle of greyish spikelets. The general appearance reminds of the vigorous tall form of African lovegrass that has been out this year.

Thanks Matt - I think you are right - firstly for your reasoning and that it looks like a perennial
