    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The "Breton Fescue" The common name was all the information that I could locate on this plant that seems to be a British native. It's really fine, "Angel Hair Pasta" like texture is a graceful addition to the front of a border. In full sun plants attain a height of about 6-9". The tan flowers in mid Summer are very interesting.
