Sheep Fescue
(Festuca ovina)

Code: FOVI Category: Grass Seeds Tag: Cool Season Grass Seed

Sheep Fescue is a cool-season bunchgrass that grows to just 16 inches tall and has very fine leaf blades. It is adaptable and non-aggressive, which makes it ideal for combining with flower mixtures to create a meadow or natural looking area. Because of its extensive and dense root system, sheep fescue is excellent for erosion and weed control once established.
