Festuca glauca
Blue fescue
Festuca glauca, or Blue Fescue, is a popular, low-maintenance ornamental grass known for its fine, compact mounds of striking blue-grey foliage, adding year-round texture and color contrast to gardens in sunny spots with well-drained soil, perfect for rockeries, borders, and containers, tolerating drought and frost once established.
Maintenance
Rake as needed, in early spring, cut the entire clump back to 2 cm - 4 cm from the ground to remove old, tired foliage and stimulate new growth.
Height and spread
Up to 30 cm x 40 cm
