Festuca glauca, commonly known as Blue Fescue, is a compact ornamental grass admired for its striking silvery-blue foliage and neat, rounded form. Fine-textured leaves create year-round colour and contrast, making it an excellent choice for contemporary landscapes, native gardens, rockeries and container plantings.
 
In late spring, delicate flower stems rise above the foliage, adding movement and texture. Its distinctive blue foliage pairs beautifully with flowering perennials and native plants, creating a natural yet refined aesthetic.
