Native to the sand hills, prairies, and savannahs of the SE US, Blue Love Grass thrives in sunny, dry waste places. In your garden, however, it will form clumps of very gently arching, fine, powdery blue leaves to about 2 ' tall. In early summer, a pale, puffy haze of light beige-blue-olive flowers sprouts up 6" higher, and by late summer, it has formed a tan cloud above the neat clumps. Really cool and quite well-behaved in dry sun. Cut back to a couple of inches in late fall. Blue Love Grass would be absolutely smashing with any of the Coneflowers, or Baptisias, or Asters.
