Plant description:

Low-growing ornamental tuft-forming grasses. Ideal for mass planting. Plumes appear in summer. Bright green Festuca gautieri (F. scoparia) is hardy, growing in full sun or partial shade. Blue-grey F. glauca ‘Silver Eyecatch’ grows fairly rapidly, so space plants close together as, eventually, each plant reaches a limit. F. ovina ‘Golden Toupee’ has yellow-bluish-green foliage; drought resistant, it will grow in poor, sandy, well-drained soil.
