Fine Fescue Grass Seed

Fine Fescue is a cool-season grass ideal for golf course roughs in northern climates. Fine Fescues include Creeping Red Fescues, Sheep Fescue, Chewings Fescue and Hard Fescue. Although Fine Fescues are able to grow in partial shade and withstand periodic droughts, these fine-leaf type grasses are weakened in very hot temperatures and may require additional watering to survive through extreme highs that last longer than one week.

Fine Fescues can be mowed down to a half inch or may go completely unmown. They require low to moderate fertilization and water, except in high-temperature situations described above.
