If you're on the hunt for a versatile, compact cool-blue Ornamental Grass, then consider the colorful Elijah Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue') at NatureHills.com! Gardeners love Elijah Blue Fescue for its unique porcupine-like dome-shaped tufts and needle-like blades that add visual interest to their landscapes.

Colorful Elijah Blue Fescue bursts with light green flowers bearing a tinge of purple on their panicles from late spring through early summer. These flowers quickly give way to telltale buffy seed heads that resemble wheat, adding even more visual fun to the display.

With its bluish-gray foliage, the plumes appear overwhelming from June to July. A partial evergreen in the warmer of its favored growing zone range, this cool-season Ornamental grass is hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9 and is remarkably space-saving! Only growing 12 inches tall when in bloom and spreading to about 12-24 inches wide at maturity.

Planting and Application:

You can use Elijah Blue as groundcover for small areas, an edging plant for paths or borders, or as a beautiful accent in a rock garden! Combined with blue and purple flowers, such as Salvia and Veronica, it adds color and contrast to any perennial garden. Use it as an accent in a container garden to give your arrangement a bit of native appeal. The cool and calming color even lends itself nicely to Zen gardens and Moon Gardens!

The spindles of this ornamental grass are deer-resistant, which is an important consideration in areas where deer pose a problem to plant health. Elijah Blue Fescue is also a top choice for firescaping.
