The inflorescence of Festuca trachyphylla is a panicle ranging from 5 to 15 cm in length. Its morphological parameters, including the presence of awns and anthocyanin coloration, serve as key characteristics for cultivar identification and seed productivity assessment.

where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of Festuca trachyphylla is a panicle with branches that can be erect or slightly nodding. The length of the panicle varies from 5 to 15 cm; important diagnostic features include the presence and length of the lemma awns, which measure 0.5–2.5 mm, as well as the degree of anthocyanin coloration, which in some forms appears as reddish-pink.
The agronomic significance of the inflorescence is determined by its correlation with crop productivity: a positive relationship has been established between panicle length and seed weight per plant. In breeding work and variety trials, the heading dates are also recorded upon reaching the 75% inflorescence development stage, and the total number of generative shoots is evaluated.
