| Design Ideas | Blue Fescue is the best small ornamental grass. Its silver-blue coloring and fine texture is appreciated in both Asian gardens and the drought-resistant landscape. Most often planted near rock gardens, around landscape boulders and in dry streambeds. Does equally well as a formal edging plant or in a mass for groundcover effect. |

Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates moderate drought. Remove old, faded foliage before new leaves emerge. |
