Botanical Name: Festuca glauca
Description: The bluest of the dwarf fescues!  An exceptional ground cover or accent, plants grow upright in urchin-like 10” clumps.  They hold their steel blue color through the heat of summer without browning.  They thrive in dry places and prefer full sun or light shade.  Medium growth rate.
Growing tips: Grasses are easy to grow, and adapts to most conditions.  Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer in the spring at a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio).  Mulch with organic material in the fall to protect roots and shoots from freezing.  Grasses that die back completely in the winter can be cut back in the very early spring to rejuvenate the plant and evergreen varieties which survive the winter should only be cleaned up by removing dead growth.
