NEW! – West Coast grass guru John Greenlee introduced this outstanding selection, which appeared naturally in his Pomona nursery. Its parentage is unknown, but it shares characters with a few different Sesleria. The foliage has the blue-green cast of S. heufleriana. It grows in a small mound that is taller than S. caerulea, but shorter and denser than S. autumnalis. Delicate blooms rise above the foliage in midsummer. ‘Greenlee Hybrid’ tolerates light shade and even appreciates cover during the hottest part of the day. It will tolerate drought once established but does best with sufficient moisture. A cool-season grass, it’s best planted in fall or spring; in warmer climates, needs consistent moisture to look its best. Our Growing Department says it’s a strong grower that’s easy to manage and not prone to pest or disease problems.
Use as a specimen in small gardens or scattered in groups in perennial plantings. With its strong growth and dense crown, it makes a dependable, large-scale ground cover or matrix layer.
