Glow Sticks Tall Fescue

'Glow Sticks' is an ornamental tall fescue selected for dark green foliage with a fine white center stripe and upright yellow flower spikelets. The tight mound stays attractive through the growing season, while flowering stems lift above the leaves. ## Garden Use Use this named selection in a sunny border or container where its yellow spring-to-summer spikes stand out against the green mound. Breeder and grower listings describe foliage clumps roughly 12 to 18 inches wide and flower stems that reach 24 to 30 inches; Concept Plants lists the plant up to 36 inches tall and 24 inches wide. The patent describes the cultivar's distinctive foliage and inflorescences. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Once established, the plant tolerates heat and periods of drought, but new plantings still need regular water while roots establish. Listed hardiness spans USDA Zones 3 to 8. ## Maintenance The breeder describes the selection as low maintenance. Remove old foliage or spent stems when needed to keep the mound tidy, and avoid cutting into new growth.
