An evergreen clumping grass, Festuca mairei ‘Greenlee’s Form’ makes an interesting textural element to a drought tolerant garden. Give this one a bit of room if you’re planting them alone, as it can get up to three feet tall and wide. For sun exposure, Greenlee’s Festuca grows well when situated in a spot with either full sun or bright shade. The occasional watering will keep the tips from browning, and raking out old leaves in the spring will keep things looking fresh. Grass expert John Greenlee’s selection is shorter and less likely to bloom than seed-grown plants.
