Description
The Festuca 'Sunrise' is a variety of fescue with colors of dawn that lives up to its name. This small grass forms a compact clump of very fine, evergreen foliage, from which emerges in summer a flowering in shades of orange and copper that remains decorative for a long time. In autumn, its leaves take on coppery tones. Planted en masse, it forms a reliable and durable ground cover, even in poor and dry summer soils. It is also very pretty in a pot on a contemporary terrace.
The Festuca 'Sunrise' is a recent Polish horticultural selection. The Festuca belong to the Poaceae family. This herbaceous perennial plant has a clump-forming habit, meaning it is not invasive. It grows in a small dense clump of very fine, bluish-green leaves. When mature, it will measure about 25-30 cm (10-12in) in all directions. When in flower, it reaches a height of 70 cm (28in). The foliage is evergreen in winter. In July-August, long, light panicles of florets appear, quickly turning orange and red. The floral stems are also tinged with orange-red to copper tones. Incredibly robust, this grass can withstand temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F) in well-drained soil.
The Festuca 'Sunrise' is a perfect plant for dry gardens and areas where the soil is poor and stony. It is used as ground cover, in low borders, in gravel beds, on slopes, or in rock gardens. It creates stunning contrasts with blue fescues (Intense Blue, Elijah Blue), and remains decorative for a good part of the year. It accompanies flowering and light perennials, such as toadflaxes (Peachy), penstemons, scabious, and annual poppies and Damask nigellas. Plant it also with spring bulbs that it will not suffocate, but whose yellowed foliage it will mask in summer.

Planting and care
Plant Festuca 'Sunrise' in autumn or spring, in full sun or even partial shade, in well-drained soil, even poor, and even stony or sandy. Once well rooted, it withstands summer drought. Clayey and compact soils that remain very moist in winter are detrimental to its hardiness. A small plant that thrives easily, even more beautiful when it suffers a little, a problem-free and low-maintenance perennial. Festucas often become bare in the center of the clump. It is advisable to prune them in late winter and regularly replant them by dividing the outer parts of the clumps to replant them a little further away. The clumps are beautiful from the second year onwards.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
