Blue Fescue adds a welcome cooling hue to hot, dry soils where little else will thrive. The silvery-blue foliage is upright and dense, but Blue Fescue soft texture makes it perfect for edging walkways or other trafficked areas. And Blue Fescue Perennial is virtually maintenance-free.
Forming an attractive, rounded 12-inch clump, Festuca glauca is a striking contrast to the greens of the landscape, combining well with flowering ornamentals. Once established Blue Fescue will flourish despite drought, heat, and poor soil. Pest- and disease-resistant, Blue Fescue is truly carefree and long-lived.
