Description: A versatile and tidy clump-forming grass featuring bright silvery-blue leaves. Taller arching stems of grass flowers appear in early summer. Non-spreading in habit, this grass provides a beautiful color contrast in the garden without becoming invasive like other species of blue grass.
Ornamental Features: The thin silvery-blue leaves provide a unique pop of color and texture that looks stunning as a low-maintenance contrast. An excellent choice for xeriscaping or rock gardens, as it naturally forms a shapely mound.
Landscape Features: This grass is deer and rabbit resistant, so it is a great choice for areas with a lot of wildlife. It retains its color in winter, providing year-round interest as the blue leaves stand out against the white snow. With good drainage, it is very drought tolerant and hardy.
