Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in average to lean, well-drained to dry soil. Space 12–15 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting. Good drainage is essential- this grass will decline in wet or heavy soil.

Care Tips

Water regularly after planting; once established it is quite drought tolerant and actually prefers drier conditions. Comb out dead foliage with fingers or a rake in early spring, and cut back to a few inches if the plant looks ragged. Divide every 2–3 years in spring when the center begins to die out- fescue declines more quickly than many grasses if not divided regularly. No fertilization needed. The steel-blue foliage is most vivid in lean, dry conditions with good sun.
