Blue Fescue Festuca Glauca Intense Blue (5Ltr Pot)

Festuca glauca Intense Blue is a compact, evergreen ornamental grass forming neat, tufted mounds of fine, intensely blue foliage, typically reaching 2030 cm high and 3040 cm across. Best in full sun and well-drained, light or sandy soils, it copes well with dry conditions once established and is ideal for gravel and rock gardens, edging and containers. In early summer it may produce short, tan-brown flower heads above the foliage; simply comb or trim away old leaves in early spring to keep clumps tidy.
