Fine Fescue defines a group of grasses that originated in Europe with similar characteristics. The three most prominent fine fescues species are Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue and Hard Fescue. They all exhibit very thin blades with exceptional shade tolerance. Fine fescue grasses are popular in lawn seed mixtures with Kentucky Bluegrass and/or Perennial Ryegrass . This seed mixture consists primarily of fine fescue grasses. All 5 turfgrass varieties in this mixture have been tested in turfgrass trials with excellent results.
