About the Grass - Golden
Toupee Fescue :
The Grass 'Golden Toupee Fescue', Festuca ovina
glauca 'Golden Toupee', is a beautiful tufted
ornamental grass. A superb choice for a showy border
planting or rock garden, the tight clumps of bright
yellow foliage also complement conifers and other
evergreens and also work well in containers.
This blue fescue cultivar is a slowly spreading,
ornamental grass which typically forms a dense,
tufted clump (8" tall by 12" wide) of thin,
gracefully arching, sharply pointed, hair-like grass
blades which are bright chartreuse as opposed to the
usual blue-gray of the species. Somewhat
insignificant, pale green flowers first appear in
flattened, terminal panicles above the foliage on
erect, slender stems in early summer, maturing to a
straw color by mid-summer Pest and disease free.
