It thrives in full sun and prefers moist but well-drained soils. This cool-season grass maintains its distinctive blue color throughout winter, providing year-round interest in the garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grass produces delicate green flower spikes in early to mid-summer that rise slightly above the foliage mound. The tufted growth habit creates an attractive, rounded form approximately 10 inches tall and wide. The blue-green coloration intensifies in cooler weather, making this an excellent choice for seasonal contrast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlue Fescue offers excellent resistance to deer browsing and requires minimal maintenance once established. The evergreen foliage provides winter habitat for beneficial insects. While not a native species, it naturalizes well in the Spokane climate and complements native plantings without becoming invasive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis ornamental grass works beautifully as an edging plant, in rock gardens, or massed as a groundcover. It pairs well with Idaho Fescue, Blue Oat Grass, and perennials like Purple Coneflower and Black-eyed Susan.
