The native bunchgrass Roemer's fescue (Festuca roemeri), traditionally dominated the gravel outwash prairies of NW Washington, as well as the grasslands of British Columbia and the Willamette Valley of Oregon. In establishing a prairie dominated by native plants, Roemer's fescue is the key species used in ecological restoration, revegetation and rehabilitation in the region. It is a deep-rooted perennial providing excellent erosion control, and can withstand various stresses including drought.
