Festuca glauca Intense Blue
Festuca glauca Intense Blue ('Casblue') is a compact evergreen ornamental grass forming neat, rounded tufts of fine, silvery-blue foliage. The slender leaves retain their striking colour through the seasons, bringing texture and a cool contrast to sunny borders and mixed planting schemes.
From June, slender flower stems rise above the foliage, carrying delicate blue-green flowerheads that mature to pale straw shades. Its tidy, clump-forming habit makes it ideal for edging paths, filling rockery pockets and combining with low-growing perennials in gravel gardens or patio containers.
Hardy and drought tolerant once established, Intense Blue thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where its blue colouring develops best. Water while establishing and gently comb out old foliage to keep the clump looking fresh. Divide congested plants every few years to maintain healthy, attractive growth.
