About this plant

Blue Lyme Grass is a striking ornamental grass that thrives in full sun and sandy, well-drained soil. This vigorous spreader produces exceptionally beautiful steel-blue foliage that forms a dramatic groundcover with an almost metallic sheen. Its natural tolerance for salt and drought makes it particularly valuable for coastal gardens and challenging sites. The intense blue color provides stunning contrast against darker foliage and complements hot-colored flowers beautifully throughout the summer months.
