Festuca glauca 'Blaufuchs' or 'Blue Fox' is a pretty dwarf ornamental grass, mostly grown for its brilliant silver-blue foliage that will catch your eye. Densely tufted, the foliage of finely-textured, blade-like needles forms a neat mound topped by upright flower plumes in summer. At first, the flowers are colored like the foliage before maturing to light tan. Stunning when massed as a ground cover, Blue Fescue adds a superb color accent to the landscape. Aside from its foliage interest, Blue Fescue tolerates cold, heat, humidity, low water, poor soils and is deer resistant.

• Grows up to 6-8 in. tall and wide (15-20 cm). 
• Performs best in full sun in poor, moderately fertile, well-drained soils. Part shade is appreciated in hot summer climates. Provide good air circulation in humid areas.
• A great candidate for borders, edging, in mass planting as a ground cover, rock gardens, cottage gardens, city gardens or containers.
• This plant often looks best if the flowers are sheared off.
• Short-lived, Blue Fescue tends to die out in the center after 2-4 years. Shearing your plant in late winter often contributes to extend its life and promotes a neater appearance.
• Propagate by division in spring
