Beyond Blue™ Fescue 140MM

Festuca glauca 'Beyond Blue™'

I am Beyond Blue™ Fescue. My family originated from Europe.

Habit Strappy - I am compact

Plant family Poaceae

I am a compact, spherical tufted grass with powder blue foliage. I brighten up a garden border, a patio pot or a mass planting in the landscape. I am heat and drought resistant and low maintenance, and I grow stronger roots than alternative varieties, which suits me to a broad range of Australian growing conditions. To keep me looking my best, cut my foliage back by half at the end of winter, ready for new spring growth.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
