Festuca Deserticola Var. Chrysophylla

Festuca deserticola var. chrysophylla is a rare and striking plant native to arid regions of the Middle East and Central Asia. Known for its vibrant golden foliage, it thrives in harsh desert environments where few plants can survive. This variety of Festuca is particularly notable for its ability to store water in its dense, grass-like leaves. Its unique coloration makes it a sought-after specimen among botanists and collectors. Despite its beauty, it remains under-studied and faces threats from habitat loss and climate change.
