blue fescue

Blue fescue should be watered 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature and the humidity of the environment. When watering, make sure to soak the soil deeply. Dry soil between waterings will keep the plant healthy and allow its root system to develop properly. Too much watering can lead to root rot, which will cause the plant to die. Blue fescue does not tolerate long periods of dry soil, so aim to keep the soil lightly moist at all times. In extremely hot weather or locations prone to heat waves, you may need to water more often.

Blue fescue (Festuca glauca) enjoys bright sunlight during the day. It prefers at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sun, but can tolerate partial shade. It is not known to tolerate full shade conditions. Blue fescue should receive the most sunlight in the morning hours before noon and can benefit from filtered daylight in the late afternoon or early evening. For best results, provide plenty of light during the growing season from march to October when its foliage is actively growing.

Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca) should be pruned twice a year. In spring, lightly trim the foliage to keep the plant's shape and size manageable. In the late summer, cut back the foliage to 1-third of its original size. This will promote dense, healthy growth and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Ultimately, the amount of pruning done will depend on the size and shape of the plant.
