Festuca Ovina Glauca Dusty Trooper Seeds

Festuca Ovina Glauca Dusty Trooper is a fast growing and hardy perennial fescue grass most often grown in landscaping applications for its beautiful and very fine silvery-white foliage (grass leaf blades). The variety Festuca Ovina Glauca Dusty Trooper is grown as a border plant, in rockery gardens, in pots and a countless range of modern designer gardens where this low-maintenance plant is a reliable performer, adding sophisticated texture and colour. The plants are non-invasive, generally clump into 25x25cm mounds of silver grass and provide an excellent contrast for structural features (walls, edging, water feature) or exemplify the colour of flowering plants in the garden, teasing out bright reds, oranges, yellows and purples that contrast spectacularly against the fine silver foliage. Whilst not essential, Festuca Ovina Glauca Dusty Trooper benefits from a deep trim in early Autumn to ensure the tuft remains dense and healthy. Festuca Ovina Glauca Dusty Trooper is an improved selection of the widely cultivated Festuca Glauca, commonly known as Blue Fescue.
