Festuca glauca is a evergreen, cool-season, ornamental grass with a low-growing, clumping, mounding habit and featuring powdery blue-gray foliage and light green or white flowers, often aging with a purple tinge. It may turn semi-evergreen in harsh cold weather; leaves turn brown, straw-colored, dry. Handles intermountain conditions, seacoast conditions, and desert conditions. Uses include groundcover, border, edging, rock garden, container, erosion control. Best performance in full sun for optimal blue color. Tolerant of partial shade, though color may become greener. Moderate water needs when planted. The soil should dry between watering; drought resistant once established. Prefers poor, sandy, or rocky, well-drained soils. Fails in poorly drained, continuously wet soils. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Moderate fire-resistance. Cold-hardy to -30°F.
