Festuca glauca Grows 16 inches tall and creates nice focal points. 1/4 oz - appr. 10,625 seeds 1 oz = appr. 42,500 seeds Step 1 - Select Location Blue fescue seeds cannot stand frost and will eventually die, so start them indoors in fall to get a head start and transplant them outdoors in spring, or directly plant them outside after the danger of the last frost. Make sure the site you want to plant the blue fescue gets adequate sunlight and has well-drained soil. Blue fescue will eventually die if water stays around it instead of being absorbed by the soil. Remove any rocks or debris, loosen the soil with a shovel to aerate it and break large clods into smaller manageable pieces. If planting in pots, purchase several peat pots from the nursery. Make sure they have a few drainage holes in the bottom, or drill them if they do not. Step 2 - Sow Seeds Fill each pot with good quality soil less potting mix because it is light and drains well. Avoid using soil from the garden since it compacts in a pot and impedes proper drainage. Fill the containers just a few inches below the rim. Sow 5 to 6 seeds into each container, pushing them gently to ensure good seed to mix contact. Do not push them too deep in the soil as it could adversely affect germination. If planting directing in the ground, push the seeds gently into the soil, spacing them an inch or two apart. Water the seeds after planting to make the soil evenly moist. Step 3 - Proving Optimal Conditions for Blue Fescue to Thrive Water the delicate seeds gently until they germinate to prevent them from washing away. Apply a layer of mulch such as cedar wood chips or cow manure over the soil to help retain moisture, prevent competing weeds from growing there and prevent rain from washing the seeds away. Once the seedlings grow 2 inches high, transplant them into individual 4-inch clay pots or in the soil. Use a sharp pair of scissors to trim the plants when they are young by gathering the strands of grass and clipping ½-inch off the tips. Not only will this encourage a bushy growth as each plant grows, but also give it a uniform look. However, clip the tops of mature plants several times during the growing season. Fertilize the blue fescue with a slow release fertilizer at half its recommended strength once during the growing season to provide it essential nutrients.

Many homeowners believe their hedges are the first or only line of defense for their landscaping. This isn't always the case, though. When you pair your

Blue Fescue (Festuca cinerea glauca Varna) - Create low-growing clumps with Blue Fescue seed. These ornamental grasses are excellent for the front of the border, and the blue-green color complements colorful ornamentals. Blue Fescue has traditionally been viewed only as a clumping ornamental grass with a few plants spaced in a landscape bed, but Blue Fescue grass also mixes well with wildflowers and does not crowd them out. A low maintenance ground cover can be created by using Blue Fescue ornamental grass seed. The waxy leaf covering reduces transpiration so the Blue Fescue plant can survive extended droughts and the stress of a drought only deepens the color of the ornamental grass. Blue Fescue is one of the shortest ornamental grasses available, with the foliage not exceeding 12 inches in height, so mowing is only needed to remove seed heads if desired. It has good winter color and looks green during this period. Blue Fescues are very shade tolerant, often found in the dry shade of trees. Blue Fescue plant care includes cutting the plant back to 2 inches in the early spring. Trim flower heads to prevent self-sowing. This ornamental grass seems to prefer some neglect. Season: Perennial USDA Zones: 4 - 7 Height: 10 inches Width: 8 inches Foliage Color: Grey-blue Flower Color: Grey-blue Growth Rate: Moderate Fall Color: No change Soil Requirement: Average to dry soils, pH 5.8 - 6.8 Environment: Full sun Moisture Requirements: Average to dry For more check us out here!! https://www.etsy.com/shop/UnderTheSunSeeds

For indoor sowing, use small peat pots or containers, fill with seed starting mix, and press 3 ornamental grass seeds into the soil. Lightly cover the grass seeds and keep them moist until germination. For outdoors sowing, weed and loosen the soil and add a generous amount of seed starting mix to the soil. Space the Blue Fescue grass seeds about 12 inches (30cm) apart. Once seedlings are about 4 inches (10cm) in height, bunch the leaves together and trim off 1/2 inch (1cm) or so. Trimming encourages greater root development and a uniform look. The seedlings will appear green with the blue being added to the grass as the plant matures.

All of our seeds are fresh and stored properly before shipping. Blue fescue originating from the Alps is one of the most beautiful perennial ornamental grasses. Forms low, compact, spherical clumps of blue-green, rigid leaves about 20-25 cm high. At the turn of May and June, clumps of blue-blue stems grow out of silvery inflorescences. The grass also has a decorative function in winter, when the blue-clumps contrast beautifully with the white color of the snow. Fescue blue fits perfectly with other plants on low beds and in rock gardens. It can also be used as a surround plant and used to create free compositions. It is worth attention in particular in the company of other growing perennials. This species is referred to as one of the more decorative fescue. For the proper growth of the fescue we should take care of the position, which its structure will coincide with its requirements. In order for it to develop unhindered, it should be provided with a fully sunny place with well-drained soil, but not rich in nutrients. The plant does not belong to the species that are terrible at frost - on the contrary, it is highly resistant to freezing temperatures and certainly winter without any problems in the ground without the need for any cover. With the passage of time, the fescue gradually grows, an additional plus is its long life. The package contains 0.2 grams of seeds.Festuca glauca

Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee' Overview Uses: Low rhizomatous flowering perennial  Benefits: Attracts Pollinators, Produces beautiful light blue flowers with yellow centers. USDA Hardiness Zones: 6 - 10 Sun: Full Sun to Light Shade Life Cycle: Perennial  Mature Height: 8" - 10" Mature Width: 12" Bloom Season: Late Spring to Late Summer Summary Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee'—commonly known as Blue Eyed Grass 'Suwannee'—is a narrow leafed grass with thin, swordlike leaves and baby blue, iris-like 3/4" flowers with yellow centers. Much like Blue Eyed Grass 'Lucerne', but slightly shorter with lighter flowers; additionally, Blue Eyed Grass 'Suwannee' is better suited for warmer southern climates than 'Lucerne'. Despite its name, Blue Eyed Grass is not a grass. It's actually a member of the same family of plants as an iris. This is why its flowers and leaves, although smaller and narrower, resemble those of an iris so much.  Known to grow in somewhat of a mound shape, Blue Eyed Grass 'Suwannee' is easy to identify by the rhizomes that form its base and its bright, light blue blooms with star-like yellow centers extending just above its grass-like foliage.  An ideal plant for a variety of areas, it's especially well suited for accenting walking paths, edges, rock beds, and corner gardens. It thrives in a multitude of climates, but does best in areas with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Care Blue Eyed Grass 'Suwannee' Care Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee' is very easy to care for and does not require lots of maintenance or attention. Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your plant well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar. Blue Eyed Grass 'Suwannee' may be grown in full sun, although light shade is slightly better. If growing in full sun, ensure that soil is kept moist and cool through the use of irrigation and mulch (or other suitable ground covers).  Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. Its ideal soil is moist, rich, slightly acidic, and well draining.  It's best to cut back the leaves and flower stalks of this plant in the winter, although not required. After a few years, we suggest propagating your Blue Eyed Grass through division. This is best done in spring, and is accomplished by simply cutting the base of the plant and its roots into sections, and replanting those sections. Failure to divide and transplant every few years may result in situations of root bounding.  Size Size of Blue Eyed Grass for Sale Online The Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee' that we sell online will ship in a greenhouse grade grow pot. Each plant will be appropriately sized for its pot. Please contact us with any specific questions. Size of Blue Eyed Grass When Fully Grown Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee' typically grows to a height of between 8" to 10" and width of around 12".  Additional Information Common Names of Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee'  Blue Eyed Grass Suwannee Grass Flower 'Suwannee' Toxicity and Risks of Blue Eyed Grass We were unable to find any definitive information regarding the toxicity of Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee'. All of the information we found suggested that there is no toxicity associated with this species of plant; however, nothing suggested that it's non-toxic either.  As such, we suggest treating this plant as though it may be mildly toxic. We do not suggest eating any part of this plant. We do suggest washing your hands after handling it, and not allowing children or pets to freely access it.
