Dried Blue Fescue Grass Bunch
While most dried grasses turn golden or beige, Blue Fescue (*Festuca glauca*) is unique. It retains its stunning, steely-blue/grey colouration even after drying, offering a rare, natural cool tone without the need for artificial dyes.
The stems are fine, needle-like, and architectural, topped with delicate flowering panicles that look like a blue-green mist. This is the perfect grass for adding a "frosty" or coastal feel to arrangements. It acts as a fantastic cooling counterpoint to warm oranges and pinks, or blends seamlessly into a modern, minimal Scandi interior.

🌿 About these Stems
These are the air-dried stems of Festuca glauca. They are harvested in early summer when the blue pigment is at its most intense.
The Texture: The stems are stiff and wiry, not floppy. The flower heads are airy and open. This makes them excellent for adding structure and "spikiness" to a bouquet without adding bulk.
🎨 Styling Ideas
Blue Fescue is a versatile texture that works in many themes:
- The Coastal Vase: Mix with white Statice, dried Sea Holly (Eryngium), and Bunny Tails for a breezy, beach-house look.
- The Winter Frost: Its cool grey tones make it perfect for winter wreaths. Pair with white Helichrysum and silver foliage for an "ice queen" theme.
- The Contrast: Use it to cool down a hot arrangement. If you have a lot of orange or yellow dried flowers, adding Blue Fescue makes the colours sing without clashing.
