Fetsuca 'Beyond Blue' (3 Gallon)

💙 Festuca ‘Beyond Blue’ (1 Gallon)
A little tuft of sky in the garden—soft, cool, and effortlessly graceful.

In a world full of fast-growers and fussy bloomers, ‘Beyond Blue’ Festuca is the garden’s quiet little miracle. With its cool, silvery-blue blades and tidy, clumping shape, this ornamental grass brings peace and polish wherever it’s planted. Whether nestled in the edge of a flower bed, lining a gravel path, or softening the curve of a stone border, it looks like it’s always belonged.

This is the plant you grow when you want something easy, reliable, and quietly beautiful—like the neighbor who always waves from the porch swing or the pie that’s never left over after Sunday dinner.

🌾 A Native Feel with a Modern Hue
Festuca grasses have been used for centuries in both wild meadows and formal gardens, but ‘Beyond Blue’ takes it a step further with brighter, longer-lasting color that doesn’t fade in the summer sun. Bred for heat tolerance and year-round appeal, this cool-season grass keeps its color better than traditional blue fescue and stays compact without fuss.

💌 What It Brings to the Garden
This little plant symbolizes calm, simplicity, and quiet strength. It doesn’t clamor for attention—it just stands there, soft and steady, catching the light and the breeze like it’s got all the time in the world.

🌞 Where It Grows Best

• Zones: 4–8

• Sunlight: Full sun to part shade—morning light keeps it brightest, but it can handle some afternoon relief.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil—sandy or loamy is best. Avoid wet feet.

• Size: Grows 9–12 inches tall and wide. Compact, neat, and perfect for edging, mass planting, or containers.

🌱 How to Tend ‘Beyond Blue’:

• Watering: Moderate water when young; once established, it’s drought-tolerant and low maintenance.

• Pruning: In late winter or early spring, trim back old growth to allow fresh blades to shine through.

• Fertilizer: Not a heavy feeder. A light compost top-dressing in spring is plenty.

• Winter Notes: Evergreen in milder climates and holds its shape year-round.

🌸 Friendly Companions:
Pair this pretty blue tuft with other sun-lovers and texture-keepers:

• Lavender – Its purple blooms and silvery foliage are a perfect match.

• Coreopsis or Echinacea – Bright flowers pop against the blue base.

• Sedum (Stonecrop) – Great drought partners with varied form and color.

• Salvia or Yarrow – Tall, airy flowers float above the grass’s tight clumps.
