Blue Dune Grass

Non-native grass with thick, upright blades of silver-blue foliage, topped by a blonde seedspike in fall. A good plant for erosion control, and also good as a contrast plant to deeper-hued plants like "Grace" Smoketree, or Purpleheart. Give plenty of sun, and good drainage is essential. Water infrequently, but thoroughly once established. 30" x 30" at maturity, will spread laterally with time.

Scientific name: Eleymus arenarius
