Festuca ‘Cool as Ice’, also known as Blue Fescue, is a charming ornamental grass that adds texture and color to gardens. Here are some key details about this delightful plant:

• Appearance: The foliage of Cool as Ice Blue Fescue emerges grey-green in spring but quickly turns steely blue. Its thin blades gracefully arch, creating a mound-forming habit.

• Color: The silver-blue coloration of its leaves gives it a distinctive appearance.

• Size: It grows to a height of 1.00 to 1.50 feet (30-45 cm) and spreads to 1.50 to 2.00 feet (45-60 cm).

• Sun Requirements: Plant it in full sun to partial shade for the best results.

• Soil and Water: It prefers well-drained soils and tolerates drought. Avoid wet, poorly-drained soils.

• Maintenance: This grass is relatively low-maintenance. Cut back the foliage in early spring to tidy up the clumps and encourage new leaf blades.
