Blue Dune Lyme Grass
Make a bold, cool-toned statement with Blue Dune Lyme Grass (Leymus arenarius ‘Blue Dune’) — one of the most intensely blue ornamental grasses available. Its wide, flat blades glow with a striking electric blue-steel color that provides dramatic contrast against green foliage, dark mulch, or stone. Originally a coastal dune grass, Blue Dune is exceptionally tough, thriving in sandy, dry, and challenging conditions where other ornamentals struggle. Use it as a bold accent, in mass plantings, or along slopes for erosion control with serious style.
