BOTANICAL: Festuca glauca

PRONOUNCED: fes-TOO-kuh GLAW-kuh

COMMON: Blue fescue SEEDHEADS LIGHT ZONE May to August Light shade 4 SIZE: 6" - 1 ft. x equal spread. TYPE: Ornamental grass SOIL: Well-drained, fertile soil. COMMENTS:. A popular, small, tufted grass with finely textured, silvery-blue evergreen foliage. A well-behaved plant which is best frequently divided, otherwise the center of the clump will die out, especially in moist, rich soil. Removing the seedheads as they appear prolongs the useful life. Sometimes, full sun will result in scorched leaf tips. Perfect in any perennial bed as it is non-evasive and adds contrast in texture and color.
