Blue Fescue Ornamental grass . Perennial. 30 seeds

Blue fescue grass (Festuca glauca) is a colorful ornamental grass with silvery blue foliage and pale green flowers that turn buff-colored as they mature. It is drought tolerant and grows in hardiness zones 5 to 8. Gardeners like its ease of care and its fine texture, which makes it a good companion plant for heavier or more dramatic plantings. Unlike some other plants grown as ornamental grasses, F. glauca is a fast-growing, true perennial, a member of the Poaceae family. Growing to heights of up to 12 inches, blue fescue is a showy grass that's different, however, from the tall fescues typically used in turf lawn mixtures. It's best to plant blue fescue seed in the early spring or late summer. It's easy to grow blue fescue from seed. Start seeds indoors in late winter, in peat pots filled with seed-starting mix. Three seeds per pot are all you need, lightly covering with the selected soil and keeping them moist till they're ready to go outside. Make sure to harden off seedlings before planting in the garden. Blue fescue seeds can also be sown outdoors, directly into the soil, either once the chance of frost has passed or in late summer.
