Notes
'Blue Whiskers' blue fescue (Festuca glauca 'Blue Whiskers') is a grass for borders, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It grows in a tidy clump and tolerates drought. Butterflies visit it, and it blooms in spring and again in summer. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
