Description

Blue Fountain Grass creates a stunning, uplifting accent in the landscape with its arching, blue-green foliage that forms a compact, tidy mound. In Michigan’s cooler climate, this ornamental grass remains modest in size—perfectly suited for smaller spaces—while delivering a refreshing splash of color and texture throughout the growing season. In late summer, its elegant plumes add additional interest, and as autumn approaches, the foliage gently transitions to a warm, golden-brown hue before entering dormancy. Ideal for both mass plantings and container displays, Blue Fountain Grass is a beautiful and satisfying choice for elevating any outdoor space.

    Description
    Gingko Saratoga is a gorgeous, refined selection of the ancient ginkgo tree, prized for its elegant form, fan-shaped foliage, and standout fall color. With a more compact, rounded habit than standard ginkgo varieties, Saratoga fits beautifully into modern landscapes while still delivering grand visual impact. The lovely, slightly ruffled green leaves emerge in spring and hold their color until autumn, when they turn a stunning, buttery yellow before dropping almost all at once in a dramatic seasonal display.

    This non-fruiting male cultivar keeps the landscape fresh and tidy, free from the mess associated with fruiting types. Ideal for city streets, large yards, or as a specimen shade tree, it brings satisfying structure and movement year-round.

    General Care

    • Sunlight: Prefers full sun
    • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish deep roots and support healthy canopy growth; once established, minimal supplemental watering is needed except during extended dry periods
    • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature
    • Pruning: Prune in late winter to shape if needed or remove any damaged limbs

    With its magnificent golden fall color, clean habit, and bold foliage, Gingko Saratoga is a refreshing, long-lived tree that makes a polished statement in any landscape.

  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, while keeping mulch slightly away from the plant’s crown to encourage healthy airflow.
  • Pruning: Remove any dead or overly browned fronds after the growing season to preserve a neat, polished form and to stimulate fresh growth in the spring.

Blue Fountain Grass adds a gorgeous and refreshing statement to Michigan landscapes, offering a delightful blend of texture and seasonal interest that effortlessly enhances any outdoor setting.
