Festuca mairei
Found in Morocco's Atlas Mountains, this handsome Mediterranean grass is becoming ever more popular for meadow-scaping or adding grass accents to the summer dry garden. Growing in clumps to 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, the fountain-like sprays of light green leaves create a shimmering presence. Easy in the garden, tolerating most soils with good drainage and remaining sturdy throughout the year, with just a little spring raking to tidy up. Drought tolerant but very occasional summer water improves appearance. Evergreen in USDA zone 8a and root hardy to 0F, zone 7.
