Description

The Elymus magellanicus is undoubtedly the grass with the bluest foliage, next to it, the fescues and other blue oats can go get recoloured.

This magnificent evergreen grass forms a stiff clump of linear, flat and narrow leaves, of a unique blue. The thread-like spikes are carried by very slender stems, and are as blue as the rest of the plant.

It is probably in cooler climates and in a rocky or sandy soil, very well-drained, that this plant provides its best display. We grow it alongside other plants with blue foliage, such as Fothergilla 'Blue Shadow', Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'.
