FESTUCA cinerea Festina Perennial Plant
Bringing a touch of colour to any space, the Festuca is specifically well suited to a rock garden or as a ground cover. These shrubby perennial forms compact mounds of needle-like foliage that brings a modern look into the garden. This ornamental grass has blue-green foliage that turns icy blue in the sun and green in the winter, adding year-round interest to the garden.
How to grow Festuca
Festuca is an easy-to-grow plant that will thrive in most soils, but a full-sun location is a must. This drought-tolerant variety will always benefit from underwatering, so water lightly once the soil becomes completely dry.
Should I prune Festuca?
Dead leaves will fall out naturally; however, they will likely get caught up in the rest of the plant. It is best to comb out dead leaves regularly. You can also trim the plant regularly to keep it neat and reduce pruning work. Remove dead foliage in the winter.
Should I fertilize my Festuca?
Because it thrives in less fertile soil, you should avoid fertilizing your plant as you risk damaging the roots.
