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.
