Koeleria glauca 'Blue Sprite' (Blue Hair Grass) is one of the few low-growing ornamental grasses, making it an attractive option for accents, borders, and mass planting. Dense tufts of blue-green leaves form mounds about one foot high, which sit neatly below flower panicles. Flowers emerge glossy green in spring, then mature to silvery seed heads for summer. A non-spreading species that forms low mounds and can be evergreen in mild climates.
Description
Koeleria glauca 'Blue Sprite' (Blue Hair Grass) is a drought tolerant grass that grows easily in average and well-drained soil in full sun, and performs best in lean soils. This grass will
tolerate the exposed condition of a rock garden. Avoid planting in rich,
fertile soil, clay soil, wet soil, or shade. Koeleria is a cool-season grass
native to Europe and Russia. Prune in late winter down to make room for new
spring growth. The flowers grow up to a foot above the foliage mounds; they
preserve well and can be used in dried arrangements if trimmed back in fall or
winter. Plants can be divided in spring or fall.
