Once established, Festuca Sunrise is relatively drought-tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged waterlogging, particularly during winter, as constantly wet soil can cause the centre of the plant to deteriorate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeasonal Colour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage forms a compact mound around 20–30cm tall.
