Warm season, long-lived, perennial bunchgrass found in many sites but generally in the pinyon-juniper or pine-grassland types at 3,600-9,800 ft. elevation. Occurs on a variety of soils but often found in gravelly prairies and on rocky slopes. Slow to establish but persistent. Good palatability to livestock and excellent for wildlife.
