6-12"
tall x 6-12" wide. Each 'Elijah Blue'
Fescue Grass plant forms
a handsome blue-green clump with slender foliage, adding interest to the
landscape. Fescue
grasses are famous for being clump-forming, and thus not chocking out other
less tough plants near them. In other words, this is one grass that doesn't
overrun everything around it. Plant in dry to average, well-draining soil in
full sun – it can tolerate part sun, but the foliage color will be diminished.
Cut back in late winter/early spring to encourage new growth. Divide or
re-plant every 2 or 3 years for the most aesthetically pleasing results. Since
these compact plants do not spread, you can plant them close together for a
full, dense look.
