Description:
Festuca glauca, commonly known as Blue Fescue, is an ornamental grass popular for its striking blue-grey foliage. This perennial grass forms compact, tufted mounds of fine-textured leaves that create an attractive and low-maintenance addition to garden landscapes. The foliage maintains its colour throughout the year, providing visual interest in both summer and winter. In early summer, it produces erect flower stems with small, inconspicuous flowers that turn tan or beige as they mature. Festuca glauca is often used in rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover, providing a cool-toned accent and adding a touch of texture and color contrast to the garden. Grows to approx. 25cm H x W.
