Festuca

Festuca is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to the family Poaceae. They are commonly known as "fescues" and are often used as ornamental plants and as turf grasses. Festuca plants are native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and are now grown in many other parts of the world.

Festuca plants have narrow, grass-like leaves and produce flowers that are typically small and inconspicuous. The foliage of Festuca plants is often blue-gray or green, and can be quite fine and delicate. Festuca plants are generally quite hardy and drought-tolerant, and are often used in xeriscaping and other low-water-use landscapes.
