Festuca glauca elijah blue?

cakbu z9 CA
5 years ago

Several years ago (3-4) I planted 25 of these grasses separating my lawn from a planting bed. They have done well and this year are blooming like crazy. I love the tall seedheads that wave in the slightest breeze. However, I'm wondering if they will go to seed and invade my lawn and planting bed. Would it be a good idea to trim the flower heads to keep them in check?
