Product information
Festuca glauca 'Intense Blue', also known as Blue Fescue 'Intense Blue', is a compact ornamental grass notable for its striking silver-blue foliage. This perennial grass forms neat, mound-shaped clumps, providing year-round interest and making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or containers. In summer, it produces small, light green flowers on stiff stems that age to a straw colour, enhancing its visual appeal.
- Rock gardens, borders, containers, coastal gardens in Sunny areas
- Average garden soil
- Flowering period - Summer
- Choose a location with full sun exposure. Dig a hole wide and deep enough to accommodate the root ball. Position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with a mixture of the original soil and compost, firming gently around the base. Water thoroughly after planting and regularly during dry spells. Remove spent flower stems and old foliage in early spring to allow for new growth.
