Monrovia Elijah Blue Fescue

Yes, this variety is specifically noted for its ability to retain its icy blue foliage color even during the heat of summer, unlike some other fescue varieties that may fade or brown.

Elijah Blue Fescue requires full sun exposure to maintain its vibrant color and compact texture. If planted in partial shade, the foliage may lose its intensity and the plant may become less dense.

Once established, it is considered a water-wise plant with dry to average water needs. However, you should provide regular water during the first growing season to help the root system develop properly.

It is a semi-evergreen plant, meaning it will provide year-round interest in many climates. Depending on the severity of your local winter, the foliage may remain blue or turn a bit more muted, but it generally holds its form well.

Since the mature size is approximately 12 inches wide, you should space them about 12 inches apart on center if you want them to grow together as a solid, continuous border or groundcover.
