Festuca glauca 'Boulder Blue'
(Blue fescue, Gray fescue)

(1 user review)

Hardiness Zones:

Regarded by some as the bluest blue fescue, this plant forms compact, cascading mounds of foot-tall, intensely blue, narrow leaves that are attractive in all seasons. Blooms are generally secondary to the foliage, but this cultivar blooms more heavily than most, with spikelets in summer. This cultivar is long-lived and very hardy. Grow in groups in a border or rock garden, or as a groundcover.

Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'
(Blue fescue, Gray fescue)

(1 user review)

Hardiness Zones:

These compact tufts of 8-inch-long powder-blue leaves are well suited for edging and naturalizing in the rock garden.

Geranium ‘Johnson's Blue’
(Cranesbill)

(1 user review)

Hardiness Zones:

This popular perennial is grown for its blue or lavender-blue, saucer-shaped flowers that bloom for many weeks. It is useful in borders, rock gardens, and containers. It quickly reaches about 18 inches tall and 2 or 3 feet wide.

Geranium himalayense
(Cranesbill) Be the first to rate this plant

Hardiness Zones:

This plant bears rich medium blue to violet-blue flowers from 1.5 to 2.5 inches wide in early summer, and blooms sporadically throughout the summer.

Geranium pratense 'Midnight Reiter'
(Meadow cranesbill) Be the first to rate this plant

Hardiness Zones:

Deeply cut plum-purple leaves emerge in spring and stay true to color throughout the season. Lavender-blue flowers bloom beginning in late spring. 'Midnight Reiter' grows to only about 6 or 8 inches tall and twice as wide. More shade causes the foliage to be greener.

Hosta 'Halcyon'
Be the first to rate this plant

Hardiness Zones:

‘Halycon’ is a wonderful blue hosta that holds its strong leaf color all season. Its textured, blue-green leaves are thick enough to be slug resistant. Bell-shaped, pale lilac flowers are followed by seed heads that attract birds late in the season. 'Halcyon' grows fairly slowly. It can be used as either a ground cover or a specimen plant. -Jane Hutson, Regional Picks: Midwest, Fine Gardening issue# 127
