Festuca glauca is a compact, ornamental grass known for its striking silvery-blue foliage. This cool-season perennial is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and border plantings. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional division to maintain vigor. Small greenish-yellow flowers emerge in early summer, maturing to a buff color. Its fine texture contrasts beautifully with bold-leaved plants, and it remains evergreen in milder climates.
