Elijah Blue Fescue Grass 1 Live Plant – Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ – Quart Pot

Elijah Blue Fescue Grass (Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’) is a compact ornamental perennial grass valued for its distinctive silvery-blue foliage and finely textured appearance. Its narrow, needle-like leaves form dense, rounded tufts that provide cool-toned color and contrast in garden beds, rock gardens, and mixed perennial landscapes. The blue foliage is especially attractive alongside green-leaved plants and colorful flowering perennials.

This cool-season grass develops a tidy, clump-forming, mounding growth habit. During late spring to early summer, slender flower stems rise above the foliage, producing delicate, airy flower spikes that gradually develop tan or straw-colored tones. Elijah Blue Fescue is commonly used for edging, mass plantings, gravel gardens, rock gardens, and decorative outdoor containers.

This listing includes one live Elijah Blue Fescue Grass in a quart-size nursery pot (QT). The plant prefers full sun and well-drained soil, with moderate moisture during establishment. Once established, it has some drought tolerance and generally performs best where the soil does not remain excessively wet. Foliage appearance may vary seasonally, especially during periods of extreme heat or winter weather.
