Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis, Poaceae) is a densely clumping, long-lived native bunchgrass found across western North America from shady forests to open grasslands. It is a nutritious forage species for both wild and domestic animals.
Idaho fescue is drought-adapted and suited to a range of soil and light conditions. The cultivar 'Siskiyou Blue' is the primary horticultural selection. Detailed cultural requirements, pest and disease associations, and hardiness data have not been documented. The profile is a stub awaiting enrichment.
