Hard Fescue
Festuca trachyphylla
Hard Fescue is a cool-season, long-lived perennial bunch grass native to the Baltics and Eastern Europe. A major turf grass, it grows 1-3 feet tall, with fine, rough, blue-green leaf blades. Excellent mowing and shade-tolerant properties. Widely used for turf and golf greens. Hard Fescue is also naturally endophytic (lives with fungus), making this grass particularly valuable where chemical applications are limited.
