Sheep fescue is a densely tufted, cool season, dwarf bunchgrass. Its numerous basal leaves are narrow, involute, stiff, semi-erect and short, 4 to 8 in and less than half the culm length. Plants are short, 12 inches tall, with numerous fine, stiff to semi-erect stems. The panicle is narrow, dense, nearly spike-like in appearance and protrudes well above the basal leaves on stiff, naked culms. Panicles are about 4 in long with 4 to 5 flowers per spikelet.
