Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ is a perennial, cool season, ornamental grass with a dense, clumping, mounding habit and featuring wheat-colored plumes with occasional green/purple tinges and powdery, steel-blue foliage that provides year-round color.

Do no overwater, let it dry between irrigations. It prefers dry, sandy, or rocky, well-draining soils. Prefers full sun, but is best with light or afternoon shade in hot climates. Deer-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -20°F.
