Festuca glauca Details

Festuca glauca, commonly known as Blue Fescue or Blue Tussock, is a hardy and highly ornamental, blue grass. It features fine and slender, blue foliage and grows as a rounded tuft to about 25 cm tall and the same wide. Feathery, light green flowers with a purple tinge rise above the foliage from spring through summer and age to brown. Best results with this Blue Tussock are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It will tolerate dry periods, frost, cool climates, and wind and generally needs little in the way of maintenance. Festuca glauca is commonly used in borders and rock gardens where its blue colouring adds a lovely touch. A mass planting will give a stunning display and it looks great in a pot. This is a very popular addition to a NZ garden and is favoured by landscape designers.
