Description

Siskiyou Blue Hybrid Fescue is an evergreen perennial ornamental grass prized for its long, fine-textured, chalky silver-blue foliage and graceful upright form. Narrow leaves rise from the base and arch outward, creating attractive fountain-like clumps that add cool color and soft movement to garden landscapes. During spring and summer, tall flower stems emerge above the foliage, producing delicate flowerheads that gradually mature to warm amber-tan. Growing approximately 12–24 inches tall and 1–2 feet wide, this cold-hardy grass is ideal for perennial borders, pathway edging, mass plantings, and ornamental grass groupings. It grows in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate to regular watering. Its evergreen foliage and tidy clumping habit provide lasting texture and structure.
