Outstanding small ornamental grass, its fine leaves are steel-blue all year round. Neat, compact and rounded, it tucks into borders and baskets to provide colour and cool the soil; and the colour is a perfect match for the broader-leaved Carex Blue Cascade and Blue Wave. Very low maintenance once established.
