What about it?

Fescue is a short, tough grass that grows more as a bunch than as a creeping mass. It was once used as a forage grass in the Southeastern United States. Now it is commonly planted to stabilize roadsides and reduce erosion. "Kentucky 31" is a popular variety of fescue that has a finer texture and improved heat tolerance. Fescue is a medium shade of green.

What is it used for?

Fescue is described as the best cool-season turfgrass with a natural adaptation to heat tolerance for its growing region

Where does it grow? How do we grow it?

Plant fescue seeds in a sunny, slightly fertile, well-drained spot at a rate of 7 pounds per 1000 square feet. Mow to a height of 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches (the natural height of fescue is up to 3 feet). Fescue has great drought tolerance and wear tolerance.
