Blue Dune Leymus Grass Plant

The Blue Dune Leymus (Lyme Grass) Plant is a spreading ornamental that is the perfect solution for erosion control on hillsides or in areas you wish to naturalize. It is tolerant of dryer conditions and adapts very well to salty, coastal conditions. Cutting it back periodically encourages new foliage.

Planting Instructions:

• - Can be planted anytime soil temperatures are above 45°F

Soil Preparation:

• - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0, adaptable to various soil types but prefers well-drained, sandy soils
• - Enrich soil with organic matter to improve structure and fertility

Watering Specifics:

• - Water deeply at planting to establish roots
• - Once established, Blue Dune Leymus is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, except during prolonged dry spells

Fertilizer Type:

• - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous growth and maintain the blue color of the foliage
• - Avoid over-fertilizing to maintain natural growth habits and form

Pruning and Training:

• - Cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to tidy the plant and encourage healthy, fresh shoots

Additional Pest Management:

• - Blue Dune Leymus is generally pest-free; however, monitor for signs of rust or fungal diseases in humid conditions

Temperature Tolerance:

• - Blue Dune Leymus is hardy and tolerates a wide range of temperatures
• - Provide mulch in winter to protect the root zone in colder climates
