Origin
The Festuca glauca Compacta Blue, also known as blue ornamental grass, has its origin in Southern France. It is a type of grass that primarily grows in rocky areas. The plant has adapted to the challenging conditions in this area, such as scorching summers and cold winters.

Characteristics
The Festuca glauca Compacta Blue is a frost-hardy ornamental grass, characterized by its striking blue-gray colour. It is a compact perennial that reaches a height of 20 to 30 centimetres. The plant produces grass-like leaves and small bluish flowers in the late spring and early summer. Because the plant is compact in nature, it is suitable for rock gardens, borders, and pots.

Care
The Festuca glauca Compacta Blue requires minimal care. The plant grows best in a place with full sun or partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil and is quite drought-tolerant, meaning it does not require much water. An annual pruning in early spring is recommended to make the plant look its best and to promote growth.
