Hi ! Last year I grew a bunch of blue festuca from seed and planted it
in a gardenbed . This year the grass is doing nicely . My question is :
Do I leave the flowering stalks alone or do I have to cut them off or
something ? They are light brown colored and the rest of the grass has
the pretty blue . Any advise would be great ! Oh , one other question .
Should I deadhead my Gaillardias flowers . Thanks for your help !

I shear off the fescue flowers when the turn brown, only because
they start to look shabby.
You might also want to remove them before they scatter more seed
(unless, of course, you want them to reseed). Mine are in a flower
bed, in well-spaced individual clumps along the edge. I only want
them where they were planted.
