Gardening Tips

✂️ If you find the blue foliage turning brown, snip it down to 40mm. The new foliage will come back brighter and stronger than before.
🌳Dividing the tuft every 2-3 years will keep it perky and extra blue.
The Botany
The Myth

"Festuca" means straw and was the word used for the rod that gave Roman slaves their freedom during the ceremonial act of manumission ("freeing of a slave") in the Roman Empire.

"Glauca" means white/blue - it is also the root of the word glaucoma. But we don't want anything to do with that!
