Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue' is a compact ornamental grass valued for its dependable silver-blue foliage and tidy, clump-forming habit. The fine, needle-like leaves maintain strong colour when grown in full sun and free-draining soil, making it a popular choice for low-maintenance planting. In early summer, slender flower spikes rise above the foliage, adding subtle texture. Hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and easy to care for, this variety is well suited to gravel gardens, containers, and contemporary borders.
