Elijah Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue') is a popular ornamental grass known for its striking, icy blue foliage and compact size, making it perfect for adding year-round interest to any landscape. Its fine-textured, needle-like leaves form dense, rounded clumps that create a unique and attractive contrast in garden beds, borders, or rock gardens. This cool-season grass thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8, making it adaptable to a wide range of climates. In late spring to early summer, Elijah Blue Fescue produces delicate, buff-colored flower spikes that rise above the foliage, adding a soft, airy texture to its appearance. Growing to a mature size of 8-12 inches tall and wide, Elijah Blue Fescue is ideal for low-maintenance landscapes where drought tolerance and easy care are essential. Its compact size makes it perfect for edging walkways, planting in containers, or creating mass plantings in sunny areas. This grass prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it is highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering. The blue foliage retains its vibrant color throughout the year, making Elijah Blue Fescue an excellent choice for adding a splash of color and texture to any garden, even in the colder months. In addition to its striking color, Elijah Blue Fescue is deer-resistant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent option for busy gardeners or those in areas prone to wildlife browsing. Its versatility allows it to blend beautifully with other perennials and ornamental grasses or as a ground cover in xeriscapes or dry gardens. Whether used as an accent plant, a border, or in mass plantings, Elijah Blue Fescue brings a unique, cool-toned beauty to any landscape design, providing year-round visual interest with minimal effort.
