Festuca glauca Beyond Blue

Common Name: Beyond Blue Fescue

Description:
Festuca glauca ‘Beyond Blue’ is a striking ornamental grass known for its intense powdery-blue, fine-textured foliage that maintains its colour year-round. This evergreen, clumping grass forms a neat, rounded mound, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, mass plantings, and pots. In late spring to summer, it produces delicate, airy flower spikes in soft beige tones, adding a subtle contrast to its bold foliage. Highly drought and frost tolerant, ‘Beyond Blue’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal maintenance. Occasional trimming helps keep its shape and promotes fresh growth.
