How to grow blue fescue

Division

Because blue fescue prefers a colder environment, it can be divided in the cool seasons of spring and autumn. When dividing the plant, you just need to take it out of the soil and plant it separately. This way the two plants won't have problems competing for nutrients.

Prune at the right time and avoid doing so during the summer dormancy period.

Watering and fertilizing

The biggest feature of plants like blue fescue is that they have strong vitality and can grow well without much human care. Blue fescue hardly requires chemical fertilizers to provide nutrients. On the contrary, frequent fertilization will lead to overnutrition, causing too many dense and messy branches and leaves to grow, affecting its appearance. This plant does not require much water. In the early stage of planting, that is, the first year, you can water it at irregular intervals. After the plant matures, it almost does not need manual watering. You can just water it while watering other flowers. Do not water too frequently. If there are plants around that need frequent watering, you should deliberately avoid blue fescue, because if the leaves are kept wet for a long time, it is easy to cause diseases and pests.

Pest and disease problems

The chance of this kind of plant getting disease is not very high, and the pests are mainly uncommon pests that mostly live underground. In order to better prevent these troubles, you can leave some space between them so that they will not be contagious. When watering, be careful not to get any water on the leaves. If rust spots are found on the leaves, they must be taken seriously and removed in time.
