Description

A mystical wonder! Bring a feel of shores afar to your garden with this impressive, yet compact, blue dwarf grass.

Not just your everyday green or flashy red decorative grass, this variety produces thread-like dusty blue foliage – standing out particularly well when planted in a group as part of a gravel garden, or alone in a decorative pot for a contemporary balcony or patio feature.

Even more beauty erupts in summer, as steely blue flowers emerge and decorate the plant. Plus, once this variety establishes it becomes supremely tolerant of drought, perfectly suiting modern low-maintenance gardens!

Intense colour can be seen by planting in full sun, in well-drained soil conditions. Be sure to remove any dead or dying foliage in winter.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Leave the flower stems on until spring - they look great in winter!
Care Information
  • To plant, firstly water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out some of the roots.
  • Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot then refill the hole with the earth removed.
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well before adding a mulch around the base of the plant.
  • Water regularly until established, but your Festuca will quickly become drought tolerant.
  • Cut back old flower stems in autumn, unless you want to leave them in place over winter, in which case cut back in spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
