Description

A fairly giant member of the fescue family. Beautiful both singly and in mass plantings. Forms a striking hemisphere, the height and width of which during flowering is 60-90 cm. Undemanding and tolerant of soil, once established, it tolerates drought well. Sun/partial shade and good drainage. Semi-evergreen in Estonia. Instead of cutting back completely, it is preferable to brush out the yellowed foliage in spring.
