A beautiful alternative to turf, Sesleria ‘Greenlee’ is a low clumping grass that grows 1-2’ tall and wide. Lush leaves form petite sprays of green-blue leaves. Nurseryman John Greenlee found this selection on his property, and it is suspected that it is a cross between the taller Sesleria autumnalis and the shorter Sesleria caerulea. In spring and summer, stalks of purple-tan seed heads rise up well above the foliage. Cold hardy to 10° F, plant in full sun to light shade and provide medium water in the heat of the summer. Drought tolerant in the cooler areas along the coast. A tidy grass, Sesleria ‘Greenlee’ can be planted in borders, mixed with other grasses and wildflowers for a naturalistic meadow effect, or en masse.
