Idaho fescue

Despite the name this luscious evergreen bunchgrass is a California native along with other western states. It keeps a compact form of about 1 foot tall. Space 1 to 3 ft apart, depending on aesthetics.

Idaho fescue is a lush bunchgrass with finely textured blue to gray-green leaves which makes for good texture & color contrast in the dry garden. Works well massed on hillsides, parking strips and marginal areas.

Plant in a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. Cut back or mow high in early Spring.
