Festuca glauca
Blue Fescue Grass
Description
Festuca glauca, commonly known as blue fescue, is a beautiful ornamental grass, prized for its striking blue-gray foliage. This clumping, evergreen grass adds a cool, textural element to gardens. The foliage maintains its vibrant color throughout the growing season, providing year-round visual interest. Blue fescue thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. It is an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and container plantings, where its texture can be fully appreciated. The plant typically reaches a moderate height, making it suitable for small gardens. Divide clumps every few years to maintain their vigor and prevent the center from dying out. It's a low-maintenance choice that adds a touch of elegance and structure to any landscape.
