Leymus arenarius ‘Glaucus’ is an aggressive, spreading, cool-season grass featuring striking metallic blue to blue-gray semi-evergreen foliage and wheat-colored (or blue-green maturing to beige) spiky plumes emerge in early to mid-summer. May require root containment as its rhizomes spread rapidly. Uses include erosion control, container, coastal dune stabilization, large-scale groundcover. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Low to moderate water use. Once established, it is drought resistant. It prefers full sun but tolerates light shade. Tolerates sandy, rocky, clay, and unparticular soil types. Thrives in well-drained locations. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy to -30°F.
