Cool As Ice Fescue Ornamental Grass - Hardy - Festuca - Live Plant - Gallon Pot

ORNAMENTAL GRASSES: Grasses provide structure and texture to your garden, offering many shapes, heights, and colors. Most will “bloom’ with attractive seed fronds that move with the breeze. Lighter tones in spring, turning blue in summer. Vigorous; good heat tolerance; prefers well-drained soil. Festuca glauca, commonly called blue fescue, is a short-lived, low-growing, semi-evergreen, clump-forming ornamental grass noted for its glaucous, finely-textured, blue-gray foliage. Foliage forms a dome-shaped, porcupine-like tuft of erect to arching, needle-like blades radiating upward and outward to a height of 10-14" (inflorescences typically bring total clump height to 12-18"). Light green flowers with a purple tinge appear in terminal panicles atop stems rising above the foliage in late spring to early summer, but inflorescences are not very showy. Flowers give way to buffy seed heads which some gardeners find attractive but others find detractive to both the symmetry of the plant and the foliage color. Synonymous with Festuca ovina var. glauca and Festuca ovina 'Glauca'. Hardy Zones: 4-8
