Description

Hi, I'm Elijah Blue! What I lack in size, I make up for in colour and texture - I am best known for my silver blue foliage and extremely fine and delicate texture, making me a unique filler for any garden or container. My perfect home has lots of sun for me to soak up throughout the day, and soil that is on the drier soil - I am the perfect choice for a low water garden or xeriscape application. I am not particular to any type of soil, and I am very tolerant to urban pollution - you can plant me right in the city!

Care Guide

  • Watering: Water once a week during the growing season. Water deeply to encourage deep roots
  • Maintenance: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves from the plant.
  • Pruning: Cut back the plant in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves throughout the growing season.
  • (Optional):Fertilize using a slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Do not over-fertilize, as this can cause the plant to become too lush and less attractive.
