A finely textured, semievergreen selection from Germany—the best of the midsized, blue-leafed grasses—‘Sapphire Fountain’ is as coveted for its form as for its color. Bright steel-blue blades leap into arching sprays of delicate, wheat-colored inflorescences hovering 2 ft. a­bove the clump. Prospering in low humidity and well-drain­ed soil, this cool season grass puts on a suave year-round show in sweeps or as a specimen.
