Fescues - Another Type of Grass?
Fescues grasses grow and adapt the best in the cool season. They thrive the best in the Central to Northern states and up into Canada. This species seeds easily and has many different sub species. The tall bunching grasses are called tall fescue, the short fine fescues are called hard fescue, chewings fescue, creeping red, and sheep fescue. The hard fescue is the hardiest of them all. It is also resistant to disease and can grow very well in areas that are mainly shaded. It grows the slowest of all of the fescues, and this makes it a very low maintenance type of grass. Places that are not easily maintained use the hard fescue for erosion, conservaton and reclamation planting in areas that are not easily taken care of. All of the fescue grasses can handle a drought and don’t need a lot of watering. The fescue grasses can survive in the shade when most other cool season grasses cannot. They also can tolerate and thrive in the hot seasons of the lower transitions zones, and in the transition zone that is too cold for the other grasses in the winter. All of the fescue grass species stay green all year. Even though this grass tolerates shade and cold very well, the Fine fescues tolerate them much better than the Tall fescues. Since all of the species remain green all of the time, they fill a grass field gap caused by climate differences and changes when other grasses cannot. The tall fescues are perfect for pastures and for the animals to use for grazing. Also, the new variety of turf type tall fescue grass can take heavy traffic, resist insects, have a strong blade structure and a more attractive color that would be good to have on a lawn. It is also safe to over seed the tall fescue grass lawns when the lawn becomes too thin. The best time for the overseeding is in the fall so that the grass is at its’ best by the time the hot summer arrives. Even the newer and different varieties of fescue grass can be overseeded at this time and then done yearly.
