Blue Fescue 'Elijah Blue', Festuca Ovina glauca 'Elijah Blue', Festuca Ovina glauca 'Elija-blue'
One of the best and most colorful Blue Fescue varieties, Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ is a wonderful dwarf ornamental grass, mostly grown for its superb, evergreen, bright silver-blue foliage. Densely tufted, the foliage of finely-textured, blade-like needles forms a neat mound topped by upright flower plumes in summer. At first, the flowers are colored like the foliage before maturing to a light tan. Stunning when massed as a ground cover, Blue Fescue adds a superb color accent to the landscape all year around.
