Description
Festuca arundinacea
Fawn Tall Fescue is a cool season, dense, bunching grass that grows well in shady areas and is very heat and drought tolerant. It was brought to the US in the early 1800's for pastures, but is now used as both a pasture and turf, with many varieties being most adapted to one or the other purpose. Fawn Tall Fescue can be used for both turf and pasture or forage purposes as it does not contain Endophytes (which are harmful to animals). Tall Fescue is fairly slow to establish, but very long-lived under a wide range of difficult conditions once fully done so.
