Idaho Fescue

Festuca idahoensis

Idaho Fescue is a native perennial grass that forms neat, dense tufts of slender, blue-green blades. It adds a fine-textured element to the landscape and is particularly valued for its low water requirements and adaptability to poor soils. During the late spring to early summer, it produces airy, delicate flower spikes that add subtle movement and interest. Idaho Fescue is ideal for naturalistic plantings and sustainable landscaping designs where minimal maintenance is desired.
