Creeping Red Fescue Grass Creeping Red Fescue grass seed is widely planted for turf grass in the transition and Northern cool season areas. Creeping Red Fescue is a fine bladed grass with medium to dark green color. It is easily established from seed and spreads with rhizomes with a "creeping" growth habit. While it persists in cool season climates, Creeping Red Fescue is not as cold tolerant as Kentucky Bluegrass or Creeping Bentgrass. Its major use is for dry shaded areas as either a pure stand or as a mixture in other grass seed mixtures such as Bluegrass seed, creeping bent grass seed and Perennial Ryegrass seed. Even though it is one of the best grasses for use in shade... it will tolerate full sun conditions although this could require more water. Creeping Red Fescue is used extensively in all types of turf areas including parks, roadsides, lawns, fairways, cemeteries, airfields, and other turf areas. Creeping Red Fescue seed can also used to overseed warm-season turfs such as Bermudagrass. It grows best in well drained sites and in droughty, infertile soils. It does not tolerate wet soils or high fertilization rates, including highly fertile soils. The major use is for creeping red fescue seed is for establishing turf in dry shaded areas as either a pure stand or as a mixture with other cool season grass such as Bluegrasses, creeping bent grasses and Perennial Ryegrasses. Creeping Red Fescue is used extensively in all types of turf areas including parks, roadsides, lawns, fairways, cemeteries, airfields, and other turf areas. Creeping Red Fescue grass will survive in areas of heavy shade (2-4 hours of daily sun) and has a low to moderate tolerance for traffic. Creeping Red Fescue, like other fine fescues, is best adapted to cool areas from the transition zone, north and in shady areas of the transition zone. Planting zones are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 based on the USDA zone map. If planted in the southern or deep south of the USA, Creeping Red Fescue will be an annual stand not a perennial (USDA zones 8, 9, 10). Creeping Red Fescue performs best in well drained soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8.0. Fertilize using 1-2 lbs of nitrogen during period of active growth which are March - June and October - December. With good drought tolerance a low to moderate amount of irrigation is required. Water 1-2 times a week during the warm season as red fescue can go dormant in the summer months if watered too little. Also adjust irrigation frequency if Creeping Red Fescue is in full sunlight. Monitor the water needs of Creeping Red Fescue in shady areas as trees may soak up available water.
