Festuca glauca 'Elijah's Blue' – Blue Fescue
One of the most beloved and widely planted ornamental grasses in the world, Festuca glauca 'Elijah's Blue' is the gold standard of blue fescues. Its intensely silver-blue, fine-textured blades form tight, tidy mounds that hold their striking color through all four seasons, making it a year-round focal point in borders, rock gardens, and container arrangements. Exceptionally drought tolerant and fire resistant, it thrives in hot, sunny, well-drained spots where it needs very little attention — just a light trim in late winter to keep it looking its best.

- Drought tolerant once established
- Intensely silver-blue foliage with four-season interest
