Festuca rubra - Red Fescue

Description

A fine textured bunchgrass, it is found in many plant communities from Monterey County south, and also elsewhere in the U.S. Its weeping habit makes it an ideal choice for an informal meadow. It is also very graceful in flower, with flowering stems reaching 2ft high. The usual form of this plant is a bright green. Needs some water to look its best.
