OK, they don't have it, but it is easy to start from seed, because I did it once!

Other plants that looks almost the same:
Festuca californica 'Serpentine Blue'- so close you might not tell the difference.
Helictotrichon sempervirens- it gets about 18" high, flowers a bit taller.
Leymus condensatus 'Canyon Prince'- much coarser looking, but blue! (AKA Elymus)
Most varieties of Festuca glauca or Festuca ovina glauca

Names keep changing, so a nursery might not keep up with the current name.
