Festuca subverticillata 

Nodding Fescue

• Average to slightly wet or slightly dry soils
• Partial to full shade (possibly also sun, please see description below)
• 24” tall, 12” to 18” wide
• Summer blooms, summer to fall seed heads
• Native to Ontario, Beginner friendly, Meadow, Woodland and Forest Ecosystems

New to me this year, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/festuca-subverticillata-nodding-fescue-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

Described as a woodland species, this grass is pictured in a meadow setting on the Prairie Moon site (presumably the patch they grow for seed), where they are quite upright and seem to be thriving. Because of this I suspect that they would grow well in a short, mixed meadow setting if sufficient moisture is available.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
