Festuca muelleri, commonly known as Mueller’s Fescue, is an evergreen perennial grass native to the temperate grasslands and open forests of Eastern Australia. It forms dense tussocks reaching a height and width of approximately 0.7 feet (0.2 meters). This grass species is characterized by its fine, blue-green foliage and its ability to maintain color throughout the year. It does not typically produce showy flowers, but its texture and form are valued in garden settings.

Mueller’s Fescue is appreciated for its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements, making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens. It is often used in mass plantings for ground cover, as an accent in rock gardens, or in borders where its fine texture contrasts well with broader-leaved plants. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade and prefers well-drained soils. While it is generally disease-resistant, it can suffer from rust in humid conditions or if overwatered.CC BY-SA 4.0
