Dewey Blue Bitter Panicgrass

Description:

2-3’ x 3-4’ wide. (division propagated) An exciting new addition to our native ornamental grass palette, ‘Dewey Blue’ is a stunningly blue-bladed selection made by internationally known grass guru Rick Darke. By selectively breeding habitat collected plants growing on a coastal Delaware sand dune, a superior, intensely blue individual was selected. Grows best in dry sand and loam soils; not recommended for heavy clay. It spreads slowly by rhizomes to form a dense, ornate clump topped with airy, tan flower spikes in the fall. Grown in premium 5” deep pots. Zones 3-9.
