Notes
'Casca11' blue fescue (Festuca glauca 'Casca11') is a grass for borders, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. It forms a tidy clump 9 to 12 inches tall, and butterflies visit it. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Green flowers appear in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Irish moss, and Blue Star common juniper.
