Roemer’s Fescue Seed

Festuca roemeri

Roemer’s fescue is a fine, cool-season perennial bunchgrass native to the Pacific Northwest, and an important grass in the upland prairies of the Willamette Valley. It forms dense, fine-textured, low-growing clumps of blue-green, needle-like leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces slender, open panicles of spikelets that add a graceful, airy texture to landscapes. Roemer’s fescue is highly drought-tolerant, fire resilient, and thrives in well-drained soils, making it well-suited for dry prairies, open woodlands, and rocky slopes. It provides habitat and cover for wildlife and is often used in native plant gardens and restoration projects for its aesthetic appeal and ecological value.
