PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The blue foliage is useful up front, but the plant is small and reads best in groups.
Growth Rate
C+
It fills in slowly compared with larger ornamental grasses.
Maintenance
B
Plan on cleaning out tired foliage and dividing older clumps when the center weakens.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth.
Small Space Fit
A
This is one of the better grasses for tight edges, pots, and small bed openings.
Screening Value
F
It has no real value for blocking views or creating privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically use Elijah Blue Fescue in small repeats, not as a stand-alone feature; it looks best when the bed has clean mulch, stone, or low companions around it.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it stay blue?
Yes, the foliage is grown for that silver-blue color, though tired blades should be cleaned out.
Can it go in a pot?
Yes, if the container drains well and is not kept constantly wet.
Is it good for privacy?
No, use a taller grass or shrub if screening is the goal.
Why Add Ornamental Grasses to Your Landscape?
Low Maintenance Performance: Most ornamental grasses require minimal pruning and thrive with little upkeep once established.
Movement & Texture: Flowing blades and feathery plumes create dynamic visual interest that changes with light and wind.
Four-Season Appeal: From summer greenery to fall plumes and winter structure, grasses provide year-round landscape impact.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
