Spiky Blue

Corynephorus

Corynephorus canescens 

With a habitat spanning an ocean plus several continents from the Americas to Europe and Africa, this little toughie really gets around. Spiky, blue-green tussocks of delicate yet stiff, extra thin blades emerge from wine-hued sheathes. Cresting short stems, small and airy silvered panicles often warmed by reddish tinges enhance the cute, little tufts that can easily endure dry, sandy, windswept and slightly acidic conditions.

Commonly found growing on exposed coastal dunes, Silver Grass’s tidy, cool-colored guise is most impressive in the rockery or en masse in a dry, well draining area amid Stachys ‘Silver Fleece’.

Blooms June–August.

Size: 10"–12" high x 10" wide; hardy to zone 7.
