Festuca glauca is a compact, tidy ornamental grass. It's evergreen and is well known for its needle-like, silvery blue foliage and its neat, clump-forming habit.
Likes full sun and well-drained soils.
In June and July this grass produces blue-green flowers on spikes.
Looks good in a gravel garden and also combines well with maroon and burgundy colours in the garden.
It's fully hardy and easy to maintain.
Just comb the foliage through with your fingers during winter to remove any dead foliage.
These plants might need replacing every few years.
They do self-seed in a well-mannered way but the parent plant gradually deteriorates.
