Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Grows best in a fertile, well-drained, moist soil, in full sun to partial shade. E. magellanicus is not as invasive as other elymus cultivars. This grass does not like humid summers or wet conditions in the winter but makes a striking container plant.

Additional Notes about Blue Wheat Grass:

Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and continue until temperatures start to cool in the fall. During the warmer summer months, they stop growing and some will even go dormant. Cool season grasses flower in the spring or early summer. Most cool season grasses grow best in a consistently moist soil.
