This compact Festuca glauca, or Blue Fescue as it is also known, is one of the finest ornamental grasses available with blue leaves. These are very fine and needle-like with a silvery blue-green colour. In summer short spikes of bluish flowers also appear above the hummocks of foliage and these gradually fade to a buff colouration.
Neat and rounded in shape, it looks great in an urban city modernist garden design combined with materials such as galvanised zinc planters, and specimens of bamboo or ghostly white birch trees as a backdrop. It also lends itself well to a traditional cottage scheme or a gravel garden. Try combined with the spires of blue and purple-flowering perennials such as Verbena bonariensis or with even Mediterranean-style plants.
To achieve the best foliage colour, these plants need lots of sun, and a trim each year before they start in to growth to remove last years foliage which can start to look tatty with age. This is a very simple and easy procedure.
Why not try combined with some of our other great ornamental grasses? A planter of these surrounding a Red Cordyline can also look extremely effective. These are just a few of our ideas, but you're sure to think of many others!
Pack of FIVE plants, each supplied in approx 10.5cm/1 litre containers.

blue grass
Hopeful all 3 products purchased will work well
Just received a pack of 5 of these, all look to be in good health and will add the mix we're looking for within my Mum's garden which we're trying to give both movement and added colour to a border already containing other ornamental grasses.
Alongside these were 3 Rosemary bushes and 3 Clumping bamboos all needed for my own garden. The Rosemary will be a welcome addition to boundary fence around the Grandchildrens Chicken coop - given we live in the Countryside and as you can imagine have good old rodents to deal with!!!! Being a family who like to use humane ways to keep rodents away from the property we thought we'd give the Rosemary bushes a try......
The Bamboo are to start a natural wind break around a small decking area as we live at the top of a very windy hill where we experience very warm winds in Summer and N.Easterly's in the winter !!!!!!
