About Chewings Fescue

Mostly used as turf, Chewings Fescue is a perennial cool season bunch grass that is fine-leaved and shade tolerant. It is more drought resistant than bluegrass and has a slower growth habit, making it an ideal low-maintenance solution.

Chewings Fescue grows best in well-drained soils and can be used in mixes without becoming aggressive. Plant in spring or fall.
