Elymus Magellanicus

Easily the bluest blue leaf of any plant we grow, this outstanding grass is native to the mountains of Southern Chile and Argentina where it forms a slow-growing, positively non-invasive, well-behaved clump of beautiful silvery, chalky, metallic-blue leaves, bearing taller stems of blue-grey flowers in early summer. It is best grown on its own with no surrounding competition in a well-drained rock garden or raised bed where it usually remains evergreen in mild winter regions, but foliage may also be cut back hard in severe winters. Very, very few good fertile seeds are ever collected here, and only one at a time. But what a fabulous plant this is!
