Native to central Europe and Asia, Blue Hair Grass is a favorite among gardeners both for its drought tolerant nature and because it only grows about a foot tall. Making it one of the shorter ornamental grasses.

Sow Blue Grass seeds in February to April or September to November. Sow in full sun or semi-shade in medium, well-drained soil. If sowing your Blue Hair Grass in a container, sow in a soil mixture of sand and loam. You can even add wood ships, clay balls, or gravel to the bottom of the container.

Blue Hair grass grows easily in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. It performs the best in lean soils and will not do as well in rich, fertile soil. Koeleria glauca Blue Hair grass is drought tolerant, but it is not tolerant of heavy clay soils, wet soils and shade.

To plant Blue Hair you need to sow 3-5 seeds per plant and cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite. Grow in dry to damp, neutral to acid soil in sun or partial shade. Incorporate garden compost before planting in dry soils.

Blue Hair Grass does not require a lot of maintenance once established. Trimming off dead material after the winter will help neaten the plants' appearance. It also is recommended to divide the plant in the early spring or fall to rejuvenate the plant and stimulate new growth.
