Fescue Grass

From LoveToKnow Garden

Fescue Grass (Festuca) - Annual and perennial grasses, containing few species for the garden. A variety of Sheeps Fescue (F. ovina), named glauca, is a pretty dwarf hardy grass, forming dense tufts of leaves of a glaucous hue or soft blue, and on this account sometimes called "blue" Grass. It makes good edgings, and when it is used for this purpose the flower-spikes should be cut away. F. ovina viridis is also a pretty edging plant, and being of slow growth, does not require renewal for years.
