Description
These ornamental grasses are Semi Evergreen: Treat as for Evergreens except if looking tired these can be cut back hard in early Spring and or Summer. (Evergreens: Comb or rake off any old, tired or dead leaves and flowers in spring.)
In most seasons these festuca will benefit from cutting back the old foliage in spring. Can also be cut during the summer if needed to encourage fresh foliage.
Tends to be short lived (3 -5 years) but can be rejuvenated by division in spring/summer as necessary.
