Blue Sapphire

Description

The beautiful silver-blue foliage alone is stunning, but especially in areas with cool to mild spring temperatures it's topped off with tall flower spikes. This selection is more rust-resistant than the species. One of the best mid-sized, blue-leafed grasses. A cool-season grass.
