'Elijah Blue' is widely considered one of the best and longest-lived varieties of Blue Fescue. It is prized for its consistent, brilliant blue colour, which remains vibrant even during the heat of summer and through the winter months. The plant grows in a tight, rounded "hedgehog" habit, making it an ideal choice for adding structural contrast to gravel gardens, rockeries, or contemporary minimalist designs.
In early summer, it produces delicate, narrow flower spikes that rise above the foliage. These start with a blue-green tint and eventually mature into a soft wheaten-tan, adding further architectural interest. Extremely drought-tolerant and salt-resistant once established, 'Elijah Blue' is a "tough-as-nails" performer that thrives in sunny spots with very well-drained soil. It is particularly effective when planted in groups to create a sea of blue or used as a tidy edge for paths and sunny borders. To ensure it establishes quickly in dry or sandy soils, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting.
