How to care for Festuca glauca Sunrise ('Miedzianobrody') (PBR):
Comb through this evergreen perennial grass with your fingers in winter to remove dead foliage. Container-grown specimens should be watered well when they are establishing. Plants need replacing every few years as they become tatty-looking.
