Widely regarded as the finest and most intensely colored cultivar of blue fescue, this compact evergreen perennial brings cool metallic contrast and effortless modern texture to sun-drenched balconies, rock gardens, and contemporary container displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eForming a dense, bristly dome of fine, needle-like blades coated in a natural silver-blue waxy bloom, 'Elijah Blue' holds its vivid steel-blue hue far better than standard varieties. In warmer months, slender bluish-tan flower plumes rise gracefully above the tufted cushion before maturing into warm golden-wheat accents, adding refined seasonal movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"soiled-box soiled-blue\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eIntense Icy-Blue Needle Foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The signature allure of 'Elijah Blue' is its cool, powdery blue coloration.

Mix standard soil with generous amounts of coarse river sand, perlite, or pumice, and avoid heavy fertilization—excess nitrogen weakens the blades and dulls its signature icy-blue color. Gently comb through the clump with your fingers in early spring to clear out old dried blades and keep the cushion fresh.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pritam Verma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68286384111937,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.soiled.in\/products\/elijah-blue-fescue-grass-festuca-glauca-icy-blue-ornamental-grass","provider":"Soiled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
