Details

A very ornamental grass with its surprisingly blue foliage, forming very beautiful, dense, low tufts

Blue Fescue is robust and requires no care

It is a preferred species for borders and as a ground cover densely planted in embankments so that its magnificent blue, sea urchin-like, visual will show

In early summer, straw-colored spikes emerge above the clump of blue leaves, producing a superb color contrast

Cultivation

Full sun and drought won't scare Festuca glauca, but it will grow better in average soil and with a few waterings in summer

Start the plant you will receive, either by planting in a pot filled with good garden soil enriched with compost, or by planting it directly in its final location, in clean, well-worked soil

Water regularly without excess until the roots grow

This is a maintenance-free plant
