Blue Hornet Sheep Fescue: Introducing Blue Hornet, Mountain View Seeds’ first taxonomically true tetraploid Sheep Fescue (Festuca ovina)! Unique from most other Sheep Fescue cultivars selected from hard fescue color genotype selections, Blue Hornet contains a double set of chromosomes that allows seed to germinate rapidly, but grow extremely slow under little or no inputs. Blue Hornet has improved adaptability to heat and marginal soils while also exhibiting better persistence in drought. Use it in shade, natural areas, and mixed with other fine fescue species.
