It prefers a sunny open to exposed position and grows in a well drained sandy soil and is salt, frost and drought tolerant.

The Blue Tussock Grass is grown for its upright habit and its bluish-colour. It is mass planted in parks, along roadways or mass planted in large gardens as a ground cover or used individually in rockeries for foliage contrast. It is suitable for coastal regions establishing in 1 to 2 years. It is also used in revegetation programs or planted in roof gardens. ID 2504
