blue fescue

Blue fescue (Festuca glauca 'Golden Toupee') prefers soil that is evenly moist and well-draining. Water when the top inch of soil is dry and supply enough to moisten the root zone. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot, and waterlogging, which can kill the grass. During the hotter months in the summer, water more often, roughly every other day, or as needed if the soil dries out quickly. During cooler months in the winter, water less often, twice a week should be enough. Make sure the grass is getting proper sunlight and air circulation to prevent diseases.

Blue fescue (Festuca glauca 'Golden Toupee') does best in full sun exposures, with 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. It grows best in cooler environments and can tolerate some shade, but partial shade should be avoided, as it will not produce its characteristic blue-green foliage in these conditions. Blue fescue does best when planted in early spring or fall when temperatures are mild and the intensity of the sun is lower than in the summer.

Blue fescue (Festuca glauca) should be pruned back in late winter, before new growth begins. If pruned during the summer months, the plant may become weakened and the buds will still be dormant. Pruning should be done cautiously so as to ensure that no more than 1 third of the height or width of the plant is trimmed away at a time. Doing so will ensure that the plant is able to still survive and remain healthy.
