What Does This
Symbol Mean?
'Dewey Blue' is an exciting addition to our native ornamental grass palette! This stunningly blue-bladed selection has a graceful fountain-like habit and displays blue-tinged flowers in late summer to early fall, that are then followed by beige seed heads that persist into winter.

It typically reaches 3 to 4 feet tall, and grows best in dry sand and loamy soils, spreading slowly by rhizomes to form a dense, ornate clump. Plant it in average, well-drained, dry to medium moisture soils in full sun to part shade. 'Dewey Blue' creates a wonderful accent or group planting, and makes itself at home in borders as well as prairies and meadows. Zones 2-9.
