Tall fescue is valued for its adaptability to a wide range of climates and its tolerances for cold, heat, drought and shade. In its preferred growing zones, tall fescue provides lawn owners with outstanding options for improving lawn resilience and durability. Depending on where you live and your lawn goals, this versatile grass may be an excellent choice for you.
This type of grass is drought tolerant and does not require a lot of fertilization. The roots develop a very deep system, reaching between 2 and 3 feet. Because of this, they don’t have regular watering needs and are considered an eco-friendly type of grass.
These grasses are shade tolerant and grow well in areas where it’s too hot for cool grasses but too cold in the winter for warm season grasses. These grasses are adaptable to many types of soil. They grow best in clay soil but can thrive in most types. The deep roots find nutrients and moisture in the soil.

Sowing & Growing
Sow at a rate of 2g per m2 as part of a mix
It is unusual to sow Tall Fescue as a pure stand but you may sow at a rate of 10g per m2
Fescue is a cool season grass, planting is best in the autumn or spring.
It is important to sow fescue seeds correctly as they do not creep, and are known as bunching-type grass.
Split each square metre’s worth of seed in half and scatter seed in one direction across a square and then spread the rest in the opposite direction.
After sowing, lightly rake over the area and water.
When the new lawn is 5cm (2in) high, cut with a rotary mower to 2.5cm (1in). Carefully rake up the clippings. Do this for the next four cuts.
