Festuca glauca 'Intense Blue' - Blue Fescue 3 Litre Pot

Festuca glauca 'Intense Blue'

A striking compact grass that forms neat dome-shaped clumps of vivid steel-blue foliage, providing year-round colour and texture.

Seasonal Highlights

The intensely blue-grey evergreen foliage is at its most vibrant in spring and summer. Delicate buff-coloured flower spikes rise above the foliage in early summer, catching the light and adding movement. Foliage remains attractive through autumn and winter.

Key Features

• Intense steel-blue evergreen foliage
• Neat compact dome-shaped habit
• Delicate flower spikes in early summer
• Drought-tolerant once established
• Fully hardy and low maintenance

Perfect For

Excellent for edging borders, gravel gardens, rockeries, or in containers. Ideal for adding colour contrast in sunny mixed plantings or Mediterranean-style gardens.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil; tolerates poor, dry soils once established. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged conditions. Comb through with fingers or trim in early spring to remove dead foliage and maintain neat shape. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigour and colour.

Looks Great With

Combines beautifully with Lavandula, Sedum, Echinacea, Salvia, and other sun-loving perennials. Contrasts strikingly with bronze or purple foliage plants.

A versatile and vibrant grass that adds cool colour and fine texture throughout the year.
