Blue
Fescue is probably the most atrractive of the
dwarf ornamental grass. The thick tufts of steely
blue blades are outstanding in the garden. The
mounded tufts grow to about 10" high and
produce silvery-buff flower stems.
We
use Blue fescue for massing, as an edging, or
as a single specimen in dryish, well-drained poor
soils.
Blue
fescue grows well in full sun however we've seen
it perform equally well with afternoon shade.
