Blue Fescue

Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca) is a compact ornamental grass known for its striking blue-gray, needle-like foliage that forms neat, rounded clumps. It stays relatively small, usually reaching about 8–12 inches tall and wide, making it useful for borders, rock gardens, containers, and dry landscapes. In summer, slender flower stalks rise above the foliage, carrying delicate tan or greenish seed heads. Blue Fescue prefers full sun, well-drained soil, and relatively little water once established, making it particularly well suited to Mediterranean-style gardens.
