Festuca ovina glauca 'Elijah Blue'

Exposure:   Sun or Part Shade

Blue Fescue is probably the most atrractive of the dwarf ornamental grass. The thick tufts of steely blue blades are outstanding in the garden. The mounded tufts grow to about 10" high and produce silvery-buff flower stems.

We use Blue fescue for massing, as an edging, or as a single specimen in dryish, well-drained poor soils.

Blue fescue grows well in full sun however we've seen it perform equally well with afternoon shade.
