Fine Fescues

A multi-species category, Fine Fescues encompasses several species including Chewings, Hard, Sheeps, Strong Creeping Red, and Slender Red Fescues.  Fine Fescues are primarily used in blends and are rarely seen as individual cultivars.  When maintained for drought, Fine Fescues do best in lower maintenance scenarios with longer cut heights and less traffic.
