Rocky Mountain Fescue is a cool-season grass, most often found in open, dry, sandy areas such as prairies, crevices, and ledges of bluffs. It is the host to 9 species of butterflies and moths in our area (nwf.org), but other than that, I could find very little floral-faunal information about this plant. It is a cute plant, with its blue-green foliage and clumping nature.
