Description

The Festuca glauca, or Blue Fescue, is a compact, clump-forming ornamental grass admired for its fine, silvery-blue foliage and tidy, mounded growth habit. Growing up to 20–30 cm tall, it provides year-round texture and color to garden beds, borders, and rockeries. In late spring to early summer, it produces airy flower spikes that mature into golden seed heads, adding seasonal interest.

Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, Blue Fescue thrives in sunny locations, making it a versatile choice for modern, coastal, or water-wise gardens.

Specifications:

  • Height: 0.2–0.3 meters
  • Width: 0.2–0.3 meters
  • Native to: Europe
  • Foliage: Fine, silvery-blue, needle-like leaves forming a dense clump
  • Growth rate: Moderate

Conditions:

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soils; tolerates poor, rocky soils
  • Light: Full sun (best color in full sun)
  • Water: Low; drought-tolerant once established
  • Climate: Thrives in temperate and Mediterranean regions

Additional Features:

  • Flowers: Airy, greenish-blue spikes in late spring, maturing to golden tones in summer
  • Uses: Ideal for borders, mass planting, rockeries, edging, or containers
  • Spacing: Plant 20–30 cm apart for dense coverage or individual clumps
  • Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care; cut back in late winter to refresh foliage
  • Pest Resistance: Generally pest-free and deer-resistant
  • Seasonal Appeal: Evergreen foliage with seasonal flower spikes adds year-round beauty
  • Versatility: Suitable for modern, coastal, cottage, and xeriscape designs

Blue Fescue is a stylish and resilient ornamental grass, perfect for creating low-maintenance texture, structure, and color in gardens and landscapes.

FAQ's

How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery times vary depending on your location and the size of your order. Domestic deliveries typically take 1–2 weeks, while international shipping may take several weeks depending on the destination. Contact us for specific timelines.

Are there minimum order quantities for delivery?

For local and nationwide orders, there are no strict minimums, though delivery costs may vary based on order size. For international orders, a minimum quantity is often required to optimize freight efficiency. Contact us to discuss your needs.

Do you provide installation services?

Can I visit your farms to select trees?
