description_en: Genus of 300-400 species of deciduous or evergreen, rhizomatous, often tufted, perennial grasses widely distributed in grassland, woodland edges, and stream margins throughout temperate zones. A few have attractive inflorescences, but most are grown for their usually blue-green or blue-grey foliage. Many are grown as turf or pasture grasses. The 5- to 9-veined, lance-shaped leaves are flat, folded, or rolled. Dense or loose, branched panicles of flattened, brownish green, sometimes glaucous spikelets are borne from spring to summer. Grow fescues in a border or rock garden to provide foliage contrast with alpines.
