Festuca marginata is a fine-leaved European ornamental grass that forms attractive low tufts and performs best in full sun with well-drained, moderately poor soils. It is well suited to dry borders, gravel gardens, and coastal plantings where it requires little supplemental watering once established. Trim back lightly in early spring to refresh the clump and encourage tidy new growth.
