Festuca violacea
Festuca violacea is a fine-textured alpine fescue grass native to mountainous regions of southern Europe, suited to well-drained soils in sun to partial shade. Water every 10-14 days, ensuring the soil partially dries between sessions to prevent root rot. This compact ornamental grass is best used in rock gardens, alpine plantings, or as a low-maintenance edging plant.
