Fescue 'Elijah Blue'
Festuca glauca 'Elijah's Blue'
Elijah Blue Fescue is an ornamental grass with steely-blue, narrow foliage. Light brown spikelets appear in summer and are held slightly above the foliage. However, they are not very ornamental and can be cut off if desired. Elijah Blue is one of the most tolerant varieties of hot and humid summers.
Fescue grows best in full sun with average to dry, well-drained soil. They can handle light shade, but the foliage may turn more green. Intolerant of wet, poorly-drained soils, especially over winter.
Seasonal Availability: Typically mid-April to August
