Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Best grown in full sun and a well-drained soil with some tolerance to drought and poor soils. Remove spent foliage in the spring. Clumps need to be divided every 2-3 years to maintain their appeal.

Additional Notes about Blue Fescue:

Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and continue until temperatures start to cool in the fall. During the warmer summer months, they stop growing and some will even go dormant. Cool season grasses flower in the spring or early summer. Most cool season grasses grow best in a consistently moist soil.
