Botanical Name: Festuca glauca 'Boulder Blue'

Family: Poaceae (Grass)

Common Name: Boulder Blue Fescue

Latin: Festuca (fes-TOO-kah)

Description: Boulder Blue Fescue Grass is a recent introduction and the bluest fescue to date. Wonderful compact form with intense blue tufts of wiry, hair-like foliage. Individual plants tend to die out at center after two to four years, especially if stressed by summer heat or waterlogged soils in winter. In any case, annual shearing in late winter often contributes to longer life and neater appearance. Dispite their shorter life span, the brilliant fine spikey blue look that this plant offers to the garden is worth the effort to keep them around.
