Festuca amethystina 'Superba'

Absolutely. Its compact, 12-inch mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for containers and hanging baskets where its sea-green blades can spill over the edges gracefully.

No, this variety is considered deer-resistant. Its texture and foliage are generally unappealing to deer, making it a reliable choice for landscapes prone to browsing.

Yes, it is an evergreen perennial. You can expect it to provide year-round interest, though you may want to trim back any dead or weathered blades in early spring to encourage fresh, vibrant growth.
