About This Grass
Festuca 'Beyond Blue' forms a dense tuft of bluer-than-blue leaves that remain blue all season. Spikes of tan flowers appear in early summer. It is excellent for mass planting, edging, or in the rock garden. It is also outstanding in containers where its vibrant foliage cascades over the sides.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Grow Festuca 'Beyond Blue' in full sun and well drained soil. Winter wet will cause it to rot. Fescue clumps are easily divided in early spring, and this should be done every 2 to 3 years. Fescue is evergreen in mild areas. In colder winter regions the leaves should be trimmed back in late winter right to the base.
