100% Sheep Fescue (Festuca ovina)

Looking to establish a meadow-like lawn or garden? Need an eye-catching ornamental grass to complete your water-wise landscape? Sheep fescue is a great choice. Its low-growing, bunching form makes it ideal for partnering with wildflowers. The dense root system makes sheep fescue an excellent grass for weed control and soil stabilization, and is commonly used along waterways, roadsides and steep slopes. Sheep fescue is very adaptable to a variety of soil types, climates and temperatures. It’s also resistant to most traditional lawn grass diseases.

Low maintenance!

This grass seed has been relatively easy to grow in the East SF Bay area. I love that you don't need to cut this grass, as it looks best when it grows long and folds over. This is the first year we have been growing a lawn so it has required more water than expected, but we didn't seed the lawn early enough in the spring. The established grass has needed water about 2-3 times a week, which will taper off as temperatures decrease through the fall and as the grass matures.
