Festuca rupicola
Furrowed fescue is a tussock-forming, cool-season perennial grass native to dry, open grasslands across Europe, North Africa and Central Asia. It is grown mainly for naturalistic meadows, dry grassland plantings and lawn-like swards, and it needs sun, good drainage and little feeding.
Festuca rupicola, the furrowed fescue, is a species of cool-season grass in the family Poaceae. It is native to the warm-temperate Old World; from the Atlas Mountains of Africa, as well as France and much of central and eastern Europe through to Central Asia and on to Manchuria, and as far south as Saudi Arabia and Iran. A tussock-former, it is considered a typical dominant species of ancient species-rich grasslands.
