100 Seeds Tall Fescue Grass Festuca arundinacea Cool Season Lawn Turf
Tall fescue is a durable cool-season bunching grass widely used for lawns, pastures, and erosion control. It forms a deep-rooted, clump-forming stand with fine to medium blades and tolerates heavy foot traffic and a range of soil conditions.
Tall fescue works well as a main lawn grass or blended with other cool-season grasses for year-round color. It establishes quickly, holds up to wear, and stays green across much of the cooler months. Seed may be spread by broadcast or with a drop spreader and lightly raked in.
