Idaho Fescue

Idaho Fescue is a California native bunchgrass with blue-green leaves and exceptional drought tolerance. This cool-season ornamental grass thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to a variety of soils. Standing 1 foot tall at maturity, it creates soft texture in borders and meadow gardens while requiring minimal water once established. Idaho Fescue blooms in spring, producing delicate seed heads that catch light beautifully. This grass supports a variety of beneficial wildlife including bees, butterflies, moths, birds, and many others, making it an ideal choice for low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly landscapes.
