Festuca Elijah Blue - 14cm Pot

This tuft-forming perennial is grown primarily for its striking steely blue foliage, bringing cool-toned contrast and texture to the garden year-round. Its fine, narrow leaves form a compact clump, making it ideal for creating clean lines and soft edging.

While its flowers are small and inconspicuous, the real appeal lies in its foliage colour, which pairs beautifully with greens, silvers and flowering plants in both modern and natural garden styles.

Low-growing and versatile, this plant works well as a groundcover, border edging or even a low ornamental lawn alternative in areas with light foot traffic.

Mature size: approximately 15–30cm high × under 30cm wide
