Glow Sticks Fescue Grass
(Festuca glauca 'Glow Sticks')
Add texture, colour, and glowing charm to your garden with Glow Sticks Fescue Grass, a compact ornamental grass prized for its soft blue-green foliage and bright, golden flower spikes that rise above the clump like glowing wands in early summer. This standout variety combines fine texture with vivid contrast, perfect for borders, rock gardens, and low-maintenance designs.
Exceptionally hardy and drought-tolerant, Glow Sticks is well-suited to Manitoba’s challenging climate, performing beautifully in full sun and well-drained soil. The tight, mounded form stays neat throughout the season, while the sunny blooms add vertical interest and seasonal colour.
Whether used as an accent or massed for groundcover, this fescue provides year-round appeal with minimal care.
