Blue Hair grass is an ideal border plant, non-invasive and attractive as an accent or along an edge. In hot dry conditions, ample water and light shade bring out the best in this grass, but it will tolerate the exposed condition of a rock garden. This grass prefers lean soil and will not look its best when grown in rich soil.
