🌼 Meaning:
Symbolizing calm, serenity, and balance, Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca) is prized for its cool, silvery-blue tufts that add texture and tranquility to any garden space. Compact and graceful, it’s the perfect accent plant to bring a touch of sophistication and softness to sunny borders, rock gardens, and containers. 🌿✨

🌾 Growth & Appearance:
This ornamental grass forms neat, rounded mounds of fine, icy-blue foliage that stay beautiful year-round. In late spring to early summer, it produces delicate wheat-colored flower spikes that rise gracefully above the foliage β€” a lovely contrast against the blue. πŸ’™πŸŒΎ

β˜€οΈ Where It Grows Best:
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s drought-tolerant once established and does beautifully in Zones 4–9 β€” perfect for the warm Southern climate of Georgia gardens. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, containers, or as edging along walkways. β˜€οΈπŸ‘

πŸͺ΄ Care Instructions:

  • Light: Full sun for best color β˜€οΈ

  • Water: Moderate; water regularly until established, then only when soil is dry πŸ’§

  • Soil: Prefers sandy or well-drained soil; avoid heavy clay 🌿

  • Fertilizer: Feed lightly in early spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer 🌸

  • Maintenance: Trim back old foliage in late winter to refresh new growth βœ‚οΈ

  • Spacing: Space plants 8–10” apart for a soft, even border 🌾

🌿 Type:
Blue Fescue is a semi-evergreen perennial grass β€” meaning it stays blue and tufted year-round in mild climates and returns beautifully each spring after colder winters. πŸ’™πŸŒ±

🌺 Complimentary Plant Material:
Pairs perfectly with lavender, lamb’s ear, yarrow, coneflowers, sedum, or dwarf mondo grass. It also complements blooming perennials and shrubs like roses, salvia, or butterfly bush, adding soothing contrast and texture. 🌸🌿

πŸ’§ Garden & Container Tips:

  • In pots: Use well-draining soil and avoid overwatering πŸͺ΄

  • In beds: Plant in sunny, open areas for best color 🌞

  • Winter care: Trim away any brown leaves in late winter for a tidy appearance πŸƒ

  • Design idea: Mix with warm-toned flowers or stonework for a stunning color balance 🀍
