Festuca 'Glow Sticks' is a 2022 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of an amazing discovery by long-time JLBG head of research/grounds, Jeremy Schmidt. Festuca 'Glow Sticks' is a selection of the common lawn grass, tall fescue, which forms a 1' wide evergreen clump of dark green foliage. The dazzling season starts for us in early June, when the clumps are topped by an incredible show of lemon yellow flower stalks. Festuca 'Glow Sticks' is truly unlike any ornamental grass we've ever grown. Full sun, and average to moist soils are best.
