Fescue – Roemer’s

Roemer’s Fescue is an important native grass for restoration of upland prairie and oak savanna within its natural range of western Oregon, western Washington and northwest California.

Roemer’s Fescue is a native cool season perennial bunchgrass with variable longevity. It is short and fine textured.

It prefers moderately acid to slightly alkaline, fine to medium textured mineral soils. The species generally grows in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade near forest edges and oaks. While drought tolerant with extensive roots, it is found on somewhat more mesic (moist) sites such as the edges of grassy balds. As an upland grass, it requires good soil drainage and does not tolerate winter soil saturation or flooding.
