Add item to quote to see pricing

Elymus magellanicus is an enchanting perennial grass native to the cool South Andean mountains, known broadly as Magellan Wheatgrass. It's renowned for its surreal, blue-hued foliage curve into elegant arches, painting an ethereal picture of graceful plant artistry. Standing proudly at a modest height of 12-18 inches, it's just right for that soft border effect, as an ornamental centerpiece in a container, or even for gently cascading ground cover. What makes this grass a real winner is its robust adaptability to flourish in a variety of soils and weather conditions. It absolutely loves basking in both full sun and partial shade, making it easy to place in your garden. As a bonus, its blue-green blanket surprisingly turns to striking spike-like clusters of golden-brown seeds in summer, offering an extra allure to your outdoor space. Despite its exceptional beauty, the Magellan Wheatgrass proudly boasts a high tolerance for chilling temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of climates. Favored for both its visual appeal and versatility, Elymus magellanicus is the unsung hero ready to provide your landscaping project with an abundance of texture, color, and year-round enchantment.
