Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ is a short-lived low-growing semi-evergreen clump-forming ornamental grass noted for its finely-textured silver-blue foliage. The foliage forms a dome-shaped porcupine-like tuft of needle-like blades radiating upward and outward to a height of 8-12″. Light green flowers with a purple tinge appear atop stems rising above the foliage in late spring to early summer. The flowers are not very showy; give way to seed heads, which some gardeners find attractive.
