Blue Fescue (Festuca Glauca)

Blue Fescue is a compact, clumping ornamental grass known for its striking, silvery-blue foliage. It forms dense tufts that add texture and color contrast to garden beds, borders, or containers. This drought-tolerant grass is especially attractive in rock gardens, low-maintenance landscapes, and as an edging plant. In late spring or summer, Blue Fescue may produce tall, airy flower spikes that add additional interest. Its fine, fine-textured leaves give it a delicate appearance, but it’s hardy and resilient.
