Blue Oat Grass 'Sapphire' 2 Gallon

Helictotrichon sempervirens

Similar spikey look as Blue Fescue, but larger more adaptable ornamental grass. Blue oat grass develops into a showy, icy blue, rounded, porcupine like clump that forms wheat-like panicle inflorescence in June. 'Sapphire' produces slightly wider and brighter, steel blue foliage. Use in drier sites, rock gardens and sunny containers. Grow with Catmint, Rudbeckia and purple Barberry. Plant in well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring when necessary.
