Like other cool-season grasses, it grows during the spring and fall, and remains dormant for the rest of the year. This helps maintain ground cover before the warm season grasses begin to grow and after they die off. IdentificationCluster fescue grows in bunches. It does not have rhizomes. The leaves vary between 4 and 10. It's panicles droop towards the ground as they ripen.[1] HabitatCluster fescue grows in a wide variety of places - wet to dry-mesic prairies. It grows along forest borders and in glades.[1] It is found in 23 states in the United States, throughout the midwest to the east coast. However, it is rarely abundant in natural stands, and is not well known.[2] Promotional effortsThe Native Plants program at Lincoln University has collaborated with the University of Missouri Extension and the U.S.D.A. Forest Service to inform the public about the benefits of planting cool-season grasses. At Lincoln University's George Washington Carver Farm in Jefferson City, several species of native cool-season grass are displayed, such as Junegrass and Cluster fescue.[1] References1. ^1 2 Navarrete-Tindall N. 2010.
