Buy This If
You want strong blue foliage.
You need a compact grass.
Your bed drains well.
Skip This If
You need a tall screen.
The site stays soggy.
You want flowing movement.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The blue foliage gives clear contrast, but the plant stays more architectural than showy.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a useful pace without becoming an aggressive spreader.
Maintenance
A-
Plan on a simple spring cleanup and avoid sites where poor drainage creates problems.
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
Its clumping habit works well where larger grasses would crowd walks or foundations.
Screening Value
D
This is an accent grass, not a plant for blocking views.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny front beds, rock gardens, and dry edges where blue color matters more than height.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it spread?
No, it forms a clump rather than running through the bed.
Should it be cut back?
Yes, clean up old foliage in early spring before new growth pushes.
Will deer eat it?
It is deer resistant, though no plant is ignored in every yard.
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.

It helps us recommend plants that are best for your local climate, based on your growing zone. Also, because we ship plants based on when they are best for your local climate, it allows us to give you a more accurate estimate of when your order will ship.
Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!
