Tall Fescue
Festuca arundinacea
About this plant
The lawn grass for mountain properties, where it holds its colour through the winter instead of going dormant like Bermuda. Deeper rooted than most cool-season grasses and more tolerant of part shade.
Planting & care
Sun to part shade, altitude preferred. Sow or turf in autumn. Water deeply through summer - this is the thirstiest lawn we supply. Mow at 40-50 mm; do not cut short.
