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.

Have a good time with your landscape design! Choose durable plants that punch above their weight class with bold color and unique form.

Striking Beyond Blue™ Festuca (Festuca glauca 'Casca11') is a breeding breakthrough in Ornamental Grasses. It is a charming, powder-blue grass that stays bright without browning! This easy-care, semi-evergreen cool-season grass variety adds beauty, motion and energy to your garden. They'll catch every breeze!

Densely held, tufts of thin blades cascade down to form a little clump. Beyond Blue™ will fit in small space gardens, and also brings enormous visual impact for large lots. Compact, mounded Beyond Blue™ Festuca catches the eye with its tidy mop of steely blue-gray foliage. Flowers rise above the blade-like needles and mature to brown.

Beyond Blue™ keeps its shape and color all year. It is extremely cold-hardy but also loves the sun, heat and humidity. This highly adaptable plant is water-wise and drought resistant once established. Enjoy its low-maintenance nature in your space.

The personable little mounds of Beyond Blue™ Festuca help you smile all year long. Order yours from Nature Hills. It's a perfect small grass for your garden.

How to Use Beyond Blue™ Festuca in the Landscape

A single Fescue looks fantastic in a small outdoor container. Try a series of matching containers to help define the boundary of a garden room or balcony. You can even leave them in a sheltered spot for wintertime, or plant them in a permanent spot in the garden in the fall.

Grow a long row of them in the ground as a soft edging. They are extremely attractive when used in a narrow band along a walkway. Create a wonderful garden moment with a carefree groundcover application. Fill a wide, bare area with additional rows in a checkerboard planting pattern.

Space them 10 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Mulch between grasses in a newly installed mass planting and keep the new planting weeded until the clumps grow together and touch.

Once Beyond Blue™ Festuca is established in your soil, it will not need supplemental watering. Add it to a highly effective Xeriscaping planting or Rock Garden. The unearthly blue-green blades even look right at home in the Moon Garden!

Improve the looks of mature plantings with the metallic blue blades of this small grass. Create a new mulched bed on the sunny side of evergreen trees or shrubs and let this clumping grass shine in the sun.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Beyond Blue™ Festuca needs a minimum of six hours of sunlight a day. The more sun, the better color. Festuca needs well-drained soil that doesn't hold water for long. Add extra soil 18 inches high and 3 feet wide to create a planting mound if you suffer from poor drainage.

For the first year, pay close attention to regular watering. It then becomes a low-water usage, xeric plant. If you are growing in containers, water regularly over the life of the plant. In extended drought, consider giving in-ground plants water to protect your investment.

Gain winter interest by leaving the foliage standing in fall. You'll enjoy the winter interest effect of Beyond Blue™ peeking from a layer of fresh snow. Cut all stems to a few inches from the ground in early spring before new growth emerges. Use a utility saw, jab saw or hacksaw for fast results. These cool-season grasses are fast to grow in the spring!

Add these fine-textured, blue grasses to your landscape. Give them sun and good drainage. Sit back, survey your kingdom and feel proud of your smart choice.
