How to grow blue fescue grass – for an unusual plant with striking blue blades

Blue fescue grass in a garden border.

Ornamental grasses can add texture, color and movement to backyard planting displays. Whether you are looking to add greenery to borders or simply cover large swathes of ground, grasses are tough plants that deserve consideration.

One impressive evergreen option is the blue fescue grass, Festuca glauca, famed for its low-growing habit and silvery-blue foliage that glistens when bathing in sunshine. This species can be used as a striking addition to the front of your borders, or simply as an understory plant, offering great value to gardeners for its hardy and versatile nature.
