Glow Sticks® Tall Fescue
Festuca arundinacea ‘Glow Sticks’
Bright and architectural, Glow Sticks® Grass adds bold texture and vertical interest to the garden. Its stiff, upright blue-green foliage forms a tidy clump that stands out beautifully in borders and modern landscape designs.
In summer, tall stems rise above the foliage carrying airy, wheat-like flower spikes that add movement and seasonal interest. Durable and easy to grow, Glow Sticks® thrives in sunny locations and tolerates heat and drought once established.
