Festuca glauca 'Compact Blue'
Festuca 'Compact Blue' is a compact evergreen ornamental grass forming neat, rounded clumps of fine, needle-like foliage. Its striking steel-blue leaves provide year-round colour, texture and contrast in a wide range of planting schemes.
Slender flower stems rise above the foliage during summer, carrying delicate seed heads that add movement and extra height. Its tidy, mounded habit is especially effective for edging paths, softening hard landscaping or repeating through gravel and contemporary gardens.
Hardy, drought tolerant once established and easy to grow, 'Compact Blue' performs best in full sun and sharply drained soil. It is ideal for borders, rockeries, gravel gardens and patio containers, where its cool-toned foliage creates a strong contrast with flowering plants.
