About Festuca paradoxa Desv.
Festuca paradoxa Desv., commonly called cluster fescue, grows in bunches and does not produce rhizomes. Its leaves range in length from 4 to 10 inches (units were unspecified in the original source). As panicles ripen, they droop toward the ground. Cluster fescue inhabits a wide variety of sites, from wet to dry-mesic prairies, as well as along forest borders and in glades. It occurs across 23 U.S. states, ranging from the Midwest through to the east coast. It is rarely abundant in natural stands, and it is not well known.
