About Turf Type Tall Fescue
Turf-type tall fescues have become a popular choice for a more drought-resistant, cool season lawn because they maintain their green appearance in dry periods longer than bluegrass or ryegrass.
Turf-type fescues should be planted in spring if possible, but early fall seedings will work as well. Irrigation in extended heat/drought will help prevent stand loss.
Uses include:
- Commercial landscape
- Sports fields
- Parks and recreation areas
- Golf roughs
- Residential lawns
