Fescue
Due to their low-maintenance, low-input, environmentally friendly features, fineleaf fescue species are becoming increasingly popular choices in urban landscapes.

All species of fineleaf fescues are perennial, cool-season grasses. Potential sites for these grasses include: slopes, median strips, golf course roughs, cemeteries, untrafficked areas of parks, and industrial, commercial and home landscapes.

  • What is fineleaf fescue

  • Selecting species and cultivars
  • Establishment
  • Irrigation
  • Fertilization
  • Weed control
  • Disease management
