Glow Sticks Tall Fescue

Glow Sticks Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea Glow Sticks) is a groundbreaking discovery in ornamental grasses that brings a brilliant, luminous quality to the landscape. While most fescues are prized primarily for their foliage, 'Glow Sticks' is a showstopper for its incredible display of bright, lemon-yellow flower spikelets. These "glowing" stalks emerge in mid-spring and stand high above the foliage, creating a dramatic, high-contrast look against the deep green blades.

This variety is exceptionally "climate-proof," featuring a deep root system that makes it remarkably resistant to heat, drought, and humidity once established. Unlike many other grasses that can look tired by late summer, 'Glow Sticks' maintains its rich, dark green color year-round, providing consistent evergreen interest. Its tidy, clumping habit makes it a professional-grade choice for modern borders, rock gardens, or as a vibrant vertical "thriller" in patio containers. You will receive a healthy 4" plant, ready to add a spark of color to your sunny garden spaces.

Why you’ll love it:

• Radiant Floral Display: Features unique lemon-yellow flower stalks that provide a "glowing" effect unlike any other grass.
• Evergreen Interest: Dark green, tidy mounds retain their color and structure through all four seasons.
• Climate Resilient: High tolerance for heat and drought thanks to a vigorous, deep root system.
• Low Maintenance: Disease-resistant and requires very little care once established; simply tidy up old growth in early spring.
• Versatile Utility: Perfect for water-wise xeriscaping, erosion control, or as a striking accent in small garden spaces.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly adaptable to a wide range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It is a water-saving plant that prefers average moisture but can easily handle dry spells once its roots are settled. Because of its upright habit, it serves as an excellent backdrop for lower-growing flowering perennials. Glow Sticks Tall Fescue is the ultimate choice for the gardener who wants architectural texture and vibrant color in a convenient 4" size.
