Patrick's Point Red Fescue (Festuca rubra 'Patrick's Point') is a beautiful and functional California native grass selected from the rugged cliffs of the North Coast. This evergreen grass forms a soft, flowing mound of fine-textured, glaucous blue-green blades. It is one of the most versatile native grasses, capable of growing as a specimen plant, a meadow component, or even a low-water lawn alternative.

As a graceful member of the Festuca genus, 'Patrick's Point' is more shade-tolerant and adaptable to varying soil types than many other fescues. It creates a tranquil, meadow-like aesthetic and is excellent for stabilizing slopes or softening modern landscape designs. Why you’ll love it: Soft blue-green fine texture, versatile native heritage, and a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant habit that thrives in sun or part shade.

This healthy 4" live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is exceptionally long-lived once established.
