Leymus 'Niveus'

Leymus arenarius is a robust, clump-forming grass that can reach heights of up to 1.5 meters. It has extensive rhizomes that enable it to create loose, spreading mounds. The leaves are long, arching, and feature a pale blue-grey hue, typically measuring around 60 centimeters in length. During the summer, it develops sturdy, upright stems that showcase spike-like racemes, which can grow to about 35 centimeters long and transition from blue-grey to buff as the season progresses.
