Leymus arenarius 'Blue Dune'
Blue Lyme Grass Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Blue Lyme Grass is a tough, drought tolerant grass for naturalizing in sunny areas. It has bright blue-gray, _" wide, stiff leaves that form expanding clumps 2 to 3' tall. In good soil this plant can become aggressive so use it either where you want good cover or in poorer soil where its spread will be checked. The foliage color is outstanding with pale yellows, pinks, blues, etc. It stays evergreen until temperatures drop into the teens. Narrow, flower spikes start out bluish white in early summer and change to beige by fall. Cat# 1470

Available: 2009 or later
