This popular cultivar forms neat, rounded clumps of fine-textured powder blue foliage that provides stunning color contrast in the landscape. Its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and container plantings. The grass maintains its attractive blue color throughout the growing season and requires minimal care once established.
