Festuca 'Boulder Blue'
Blue Fescue Grass
zones 4-8
|
| Description:
This hybrid is similar to F. 'Elijah Blue', but is distinguished by a
slightly shorter height, tighter habit, and more upright flower stalks. Soft
powdery blue, spiky foliage that keeps its color all year round forms small,
rounded clumps. In early summer, wheat-like seed heads are produced on tall,
spikey stalks in great numbers. Prefering dryer conditions, this is the
perfect grass for rock gardens, in stone troughs or pots, for costal
climates, or even for use as edging. |
