Beyond Blue Fescue is an outstanding dwarf semi-evergreen ornamental grass with intensely silver-blue cascading foliage that grows in porcupine-like tufts. Non-showy airy panicles with green flowers bloom in spring and summer. Best foliage in full sun and well-drained soils. Tolerates drought and poor soils.
MAINTENANCE NEEDS: High Maintenance. Overly moist soils can lead to root rot. The plant may decline in overly hot and humid summers. Considerable browning may occur in harsh winters. Cut Back foliage in spring to encourage new growth. Clumps tend to die back in the center every 2-3 years and should be divided and replanted, or replaced.
