Seeds: Fine Fescue

Fine fescues, as a group, are tolerant of drought, moderately acid soils, low fertility and some shade. There has been increased interest in turfgrasses with good performance under low maintenance, especially in non-irrigated lawns and golf course roughs. The most widely used fine fescue is creeping red fescue. Its shade and drought tolerance make it a popular variety in northern seed mixtures. It’s rarely seeded alone, but is generally used with Kentucky bluegrass.
