Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

With soft texture and flowing fountains of green foliage, the Atlas Fescue (Festuca mairei) is a xeric and beautiful garden addition for a smaller ornamental garden grass! Forming an explosion of soft fronds showering from the rosette base up and out, these rounded mounds add so much whimsy to the garden!

Shooting up lovely little flowers in June, these tan blooms wave above the fountain of fine-textured foliage. In warmer zones, this foliage can remain evergreen! The steady green year-round provides great texture! Even in cooler zones where these turn a lovely tan, looking magical when covered in frost and light snow.

Atlas Fescue is a hardy perennial cool-season grass that can reach a tidy mound of 2-3 feet in mature height and mature width. With a medium growth rate, you'll not have to wait long to see these green tufts of grassy foliage adorn your garden beds and borders.

Planting and Application:

Atlas looks lovely as a low hedge, border and edging plant, thriving in xeric locations and rock gardens, or even that hell-strip along roads, sidewalks and paths. Use along the front of a garden bed to ease the transition between lawn and garden, or in drifts to fill large areas with graceful ornamental texture.

Ideal as mass plantings to fill large areas both in home gardens and commercial locations. Fescue is fantastic erosion control on steep embankments and dangerous-to-mow hillsides. Create lovely groupings throughout garden beds and among perennials in cottage gardens, front landscaping and even in porch pots and patio planters.

  • Fountains of Grassy Fine Textured Foliage
  • Rounded Mounds
  • Tan Blooms in Summer
  • Beds & Borders, En Masse, Edges
  • Pots & Planters, Gardens & Erosion Control

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Thriving USDA hardiness zones 5-9, Fescue is a low moisture use grass once it is established and is fantastic in both full sun and partial shade. Loving well-drained soil of about any type, and provide a moderately fertile location. Clean the mound and prune back dead fronds in the early spring, before new growth appears.

  • Full Sun & Part Shade
  • Moderate Moisture to Establish
  • Low Moisture Needs After Establishment
  • Prune Cool-Season Grasses in Early Spring
  • Deer Resistant

Atlas Fescue is just what you need for a small fountain-like ornamental grass that lends gardens a tough, hardy & xeric addition! Order now at NatureHills.com!
