'The Blues' is a nice blue foliaged selection of this native bunch grass. Thrives in heat and humidity. Good for mass plantings. Blue foliage intensifies in fall, with deep burgandy red mingling throughout the clump as it goes to tan winter color which remains an attractive garden feature. A sunny well-drained site is needed for good growth.
