Blue Fescue Grass Seeds, 50+ Seeds

Blue fescue grass (Festuca glauca) is a colorful ornamental grass with icy blue foliage and pale yellow flowers. It is drought-tolerant and grows in USDA plant hardiness zones 4 to 8. Gardeners like its ease of care and its fine texture, which makes it a good companion plant for heavier or more dramatic plantings. Unlike some other plants grown as ornamental grasses, F. glauca is a fast-growing, true perennial, a member of the Poaceae family.

Growing to heights of up to 12 inches, blue fescue is a showy grass that's different, however, from the tall fescues typically used in turf lawn mixtures. It's best to plant blue fescue seed in the early spring or late summer.

Blue fescue can be relatively maintenance-free by following a few key steps. Mulching with a 3-inch layer of bark mulch or other organic material is advisable, especially when fostering the growth of young plants. Mulch helps to conserve moisture in the soil and suppress weed growth. It eventually decomposes and releases nutrients into the soil (at which time you can replace the old mulch with a new batch).

There are few pest and disease problems with blue fescue. You will need to pay close attention every year to division, as the plant will die within a few years if it is not lifted and divided.

It's easy to grow blue fescue from seed. Start them indoors in late winter, in peat pots filled with seed-starting mix. Three seeds per pot are all you need, lightly covering with the selected soil and keeping them moist till they're ready to go outside. Blue fescue seeds can also be sown outdoors, directly into the soil, either once the chance of frost has passed or in late summer.
