Growing Zones
Beyond Blue Festuca (Festuca glauca 'Casca11') is a vibrant, compact ornamental grass that adds color and texture to any garden. Its striking bright blue foliage forms a dense clump that retains its color throughout the season, making it an ideal choice for edging, borders, or mass plantings. In late spring and summer, delicate flowers emerge, adding subtle interest without overshadowing the striking foliage.
Beyond Blue Festuca is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, thriving in dry to medium soil conditions. Its compact growth habit and vivid color make it a standout accent plant in both formal and informal garden designs.
Beyond Blue Festuca Care
Plant in well-drained soil for optimal growth. Cut back the foliage to 3–4 inches in spring to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth. Divide the clumps every 2–3 years to prevent the center from dying back and to rejuvenate the plant.
Beyond Blue Festuca Growth & Spacing
This ornamental grass typically grows 8–12 inches tall and wide. For best results in borders or mass plantings, space plants 18 inches apart on center.
