Festuca cinerca 'Elijah Blue'
Festuca cinerea 'Elijah Blue' is a striking ornamental grass prized for its striking blue-gray foliage and compact, clumping growth habit. This perennial grass forms dense mounds of fine-textured foliage that provide a unique contrast in texture and color in the landscape. In summer, it produces slender flower spikes that emerge in a soft, wheat-like fashion above the foliage. 'Elijah Blue' is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover. Its compact size and low maintenance needs make it a versatile and attractive addition to gardens of all sizes.
