Beyond Blue' is said to be the bluest Festuca glauca available and noticeably bluer than the industry standard 'Elijah Blue'. You'll have to compare for yourself but we agree. This is an amazing powdering blue foliage component for full sun containers and beds. On the West Coast Festuca should be planted in hot dry spots with thin soils. Avoid rich soils. Also great in containers.
