Black Beauty Tall Fescue Cool Season Perennial Grass
Tall Fescue is a deep rooted, cool season perennial grass that is
well adapted to cooler areas of the transition zone. We sell it as a
seasonal product from November to April into climates conducive to
growing cool season grasses.
Tall
Fescue produces a bunch type growth habit and spreads primarily by
tillering. Tall Fescue has a deep, dark green color, waxy cuticle, and
is more shade tolerant than any warm season grass. Tall Fescue is
adapted to a wide range of soils, but does best on clay soils high in
organic matter that should be aerated annually.
