The leaves are smooth and flat, with a pointed tip.

Festuca pratensis, commonly known as meadow fescue, is a perennial species of grass that is often used as an ornamental grass in gardens and is also an important forage crop. It grows in meadows, roadsides, old pastures, and riversides on moist, rich soils, especially on loamy and heavy soils. It is a tall, tufted grass similar to the tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea, but differs by having minute hairs on the auricles. It can hybridise with Lolium perenne and Lolium multiflorum. It is a bunchgrass that grows 30-120 cm tall, flowering from June to August, with green to purplish panicles and 5-14 flowers per spikelet. The leaves are bright green, smooth and flat, with a pointed tip and a short, blunt ligule 1 mm high.
