Eye-catching Festuca glauca 'Blue Whiskers' PP#29,200 (Fescue Grass) is a colorful standout you will want in your garden. Taller, brighter blue, and with striking long leaves, its silvery hue gives your garden textural contrast. In early to mid-summer yellow-green flowers emerge just above the foliage and will turn tan as they age. This lovely evergreen grass will provide beautiful winter interest. It is low-maintenance, waterwise, and deer resistant for easy gardening.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Festuca glauca 'Blue Whiskers' PP#29,200 (Fescue Grass) is perfect for borders, walkways, rock gardens, and containers. Easy to grow, plant it in well-draining, average soil in a location with full sun or morning sun and afternoon shade. It will spread out and create a finely textured mound of foliage. Plant with other ornamental grasses, Sedum, Lewisia, Nepeta, and compact Lavenders. Native to central and southern Europe and hardy in zones 4-8, this adaptable Fescue is an easy way to add texture and color to your waterwise landscape.
