$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Festuca glauca is a perennial grass native to regions including France, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. This ornamental grass is distinguished by its fine-textured, needle-like leaves that form dense, cushion-like tufts. In late spring to early summer, it produces inconspicuous greenish flowers with a purple tinge, borne in terminal panicles above the foliage.

Blue fescue is well-suited for full sun exposure and thrives in dry to medium soil conditions. Its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for ground cover, rock gardens, and border edges.
