Emerald Coast Growers' Blue Grass Collection Anticipates Demand

Pensacola, Fla. – Color pundits have proclaimed 2013 as the year of Blues, and Emerald Coast Growers is making it easy for customers to meet demand with a new collection of blue grasses in varying shades.

In particular trendspotters have tapped tropical, watery blues with a touch of green as dominants in consumers’ color palette of choice for the coming year, and the Blues Collection answers.

“We work hard to track and predict trends and demand so our customers don’t have to,” says Cheri Markowitz, Sales Manager. “Our Blues Collection is born of that desire to make buying easy for our customers.”

Emerald Coast Growers’ Blues Collection includes a wide and varied range of hues and habits, with a selection of cultivars suited for a variety of uses, from containers and borders to masses and accents. Try a blue border with deep blue and purple flowers in the background, or choose a palette of blues against a contrasting background of rich, dark foliage in either containers or beds.

The Blues Collection features: Carex ‘Blue Zinger’ and ‘Bunny Blue’; Festuca ‘Boulder Blue’ and ‘Elijah Blue’; Eragrostis ‘Tallahassee Sunset’; Helictotricon blue oat grass; Juncus ‘Blue Arrows’; Leymus ‘Blue Dune’; Panicum ‘Dallas Blues’; Panicum ‘Northwind’ and ‘Prairie Sky’; and Schizachyrium ‘Blue Heaven’, ‘Prairie Blues’ and ‘The Blues’.
