Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An Intrinsic Introduction!!! An exciting new selection that comes from 'The Blues'. 'Jazz' is a shorter form growing 2'+ with the same blue foliage and will not fall over. Makes a good replacement for Blue Oat Grass. Native. Some purple fall color to the stems too. Full sun, well drained soil is best.
