Low Grow Fescue

Festuca species

Low grow fescue is a great low-maintenance alternative to traditional bluegrass. This grass comes in a variety of mixes and has a soft, fine texture that is barefoot friendly. It thrives in full sun as well as shady areas where traditional turf struggles. Once established, this grass requires significantly less water than bluegrass. Low grow fescue can be mowed or can be left to its natural, wispy form to create a dramatic landscape feature.
