BLUE FESCUE GRASS 1gal

Picture a charming, low-growing ornamental grass forming neat little tufts or mounds, typically reaching about eight to twelve inches tall and wide. The fine, needle-like blades have a distinctive powdery blue color that provides a wonderful textural contrast in the garden and adds year-round visual interest. In the summer, you might see delicate flower spikes emerge, adding a subtle airy quality, though the foliage is truly the main attraction.

Blue Fescue is a sun-lover and thrives in full Arizona sunshine. It’s also quite drought-tolerant once established, making it a water-wise choice for our region. And the good news for those concerned about critters is that deer and rabbits tend to find ornamental grasses like Blue Fescue less appealing than many other plants.

To give your Blue Fescue the best start and maintain that beautiful blue hue, plant it in well-drained soil. Good drainage is key for this grass. After planting, a light layer of Watters Premium Mulch around the base will help retain some moisture and suppress weeds without smothering the plant. While Blue Fescue doesn’t require heavy feeding, a light application of Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in the early spring can give it a gentle boost as it starts its new growth.

Blue Fescue is fantastic for adding unique texture and color to rock gardens, borders, along pathways, or even in containers. Its low maintenance and striking appearance make it a versatile and attractive addition to any garden.
