Elijah Blue

Elijah Blue

Discovered and named by Lois Woodhill of The Plantage Nursery, Cutchogue, Long Island, New York, this cultivar is probably the best fescue available today. Forming a tight mound of fine textured silver-blue, this grass is excellent when planted in groups of 3-5 with contrasting gold or orange foliaged plants. We plant with various heathers like Firefly or Pat's gold. This grass is one of the more durable and longer-lived selections. Evergreen.
