Calamagrostis foliosa is an evergreen bunchgrass prized for its compact, arching, blue-grey to blue-green foliage and purple-toned flower spikes. Ideal for rock gardens, native meadows, small-scale specimen plantings, woodland margins, groundcover, perennial borders, meadow plantings, lawn alternative. Best in full sun on the coast, it needs part shade in hot inland areas. Low to moderate water needs. It is drought-tolerant once established, but looks best with occasional summer irrigation in hot inland climates. It prefers well-drained soil; can handle rocky, sandy, or clay soils if drainage is adequate. Deer-resistant. Fire-retardant when maintained. Cold hardy to 10°F.
