This plant has a moderate need for water and does well in most soils, provided they drain well. Mulch around your ornamental grass when first planting, taking care not to build up the mulch too high. If the rounded form of your Blue Fescue starts to change over the years, looking less tidy than it should, divide your plant. Trimming and cutting back are not necessary but will not harm your Blue Fescue. If you keep your plant untrimmed throughout the seasons, periodically brush through the blades of grass with your hand, pulling out any blades that have dried.

Need to cool off? The powder blue color of this ornamental grass will make you feel cool and serene upon first sight. Its blades, thin enough to ripple in any breeze that passes through, work together to create a nicely rounded form. With Beyond Blue, in particular, gardeners have found that these blades resist browning. Blue Fescue adds shape, texture, and color to the garden... unending visual interest from an easy-care plant. Plant it in masses along borders or mixed in with flowering plants. You can even use it as a dusty blue focal piece in a container. Blue Fescue is a plant that stays "cool" throughout the seasons.
