Description
60-72” tall x 18-24” wide. Leymus cinereus (Great Basin Wildrye) is a fabulous native grass grown for its large size, attractive tall flower spikes and eye-catching blue foliage. Native to the Great Basin area, centered in Utah and Nevada, this little-known beauty deserves much wider use. A cool season grower, its blue leaves sprout up early in the spring and blooms starting in late spring. High Country Garden plants are grown from select plants chosen for their extra blue leaves and sturdy upright growth habit. Plant it alongside or behind native shrubs like Fernbush (or Desert Sweet, Chamaebatiaria), and perennials like tall Penstemon and 'Coronation Gold' Yarrow.

Truely cold season grass
"When mature, will breakup line of boundary fence."
Tough as nails.
"I stuck this in a back corner of the yard where the sprinklers don't hit and not even the weeds grow. I remember to throw some water on it once a week if it's lucky, but thoroughly soak the ground when I do water. It's alive and reasonably happy. . . it's about tripled in size in 2 months. I'm in high desert with alkali clay, so if you're looking for a native, xeric, ornamental grass to pretty-up a difficult corner, it's a great pick. I'll be buying more."
Growing fast
"I planted this earlier this spring and am impressed with how much they have grown. They are already 8"" around and about 1' tall. Next year they will boom! I hope they don't get wider than 24"" wide like the description says."
