My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Festuca glauca elijah blue?

8 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?
