Fescue Sedge

Overview

Fescue Sedge is a stout evergreen perennial plant that typically grows up to 0.5 metres in both height and spread. The narrow, blue-green, linear leaves grow densely forming a dense tussock. The flower spikes are distinguishable in late spring or summer, with small yellow-brown clusters atop thin stems, and on female plants up to 1.5 cm long. Fescue Sedge is often used as a ground cover or lawn substitute due to its lush foliage and dense root network, and it also adds texture and structure to borders. It is relatively low maintenance and requires little to no fertilisation to thrive in a variety of well-drained soil types, preferring full sun to partial shade.
