Rocky Mountain fescue

Festuca saximontana

Cool season, long-lived, perennial bunchgrass similar in appearance to Arizona fescue (F. arizonica), though somewhat smaller and less densely tufted. Found on mesic to dry meadows and forest openings. Excellent palatability to livestock and big game, but low productivity. Establishes easily in tough conditions. Use for revegetating sandy or gravelly soils at mid to high elevations.
