Unveiling the Beauty of Festuca glauca 'AmiGold':

• Description: Festuca glauca 'AmiGold', commonly known as golden blue fescue, is a compact, clump-forming grass with striking golden-yellow foliage. The slender, arching leaves of 'AmiGold' emerge as a bright golden-yellow color in spring, intensifying in color as the season progresses. In summer, airy flower spikes rise above the foliage, adding further interest to the plant. 'AmiGold' retains its color throughout the year, providing year-round appeal in the garden.
• Height: Typically grows to a height of 8 to 12 inches at maturity.

• Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun for optimal growth and foliage color. Plant Festuca glauca 'AmiGold' in spring or early autumn, ensuring proper spacing to accommodate its mature spread.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, particularly during the first growing season, to establish the plants. Once established, 'AmiGold' is drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental watering, except during prolonged dry spells.
• Pruning: 'AmiGold' is a low-maintenance grass that requires minimal pruning. Remove any dead or damaged foliage as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
