Festuca trachyphylla Hard fescue

Formerly known as Festuca longifolia. Densely tufted, cool season, long-lived perennial bunchgrass with a massive, fibrous, shallow root system. Adapted to a wide range of soil conditions except for standing wet or strongly alkaline sites. The establishment is slow but persistent with mature stands being very competitive. Good palatability to livestock and excellent for wildlife. Also used for controlling erosion and as a turfgrass.
