Rolled Grass

A turf that can be adapted to a mown turf or left to grow for a natural appeal

Canadian Blue Fescue™

Canadian Blue Fescue™ is well adapted to a mown turf situation or can be left to grow tall for a more natural appeal. Canadian Blue Fescue™ is a very drought tolerant, low maintenance grass with a very fine texture.

​

Environmentally sensitive sites and low traffic turf areas can both benefit by using

Canadian Blue Fescue™. Canadian Blue fescue™ looks beautiful in-home lawn settings, roadsides, medians, open space, golf course roughs and blends well with native grasses and wildflowers.

 

Canadian Blue Fescue™ is a mix of fine-leafed fescues and other grasses. Fine leafed fescues are the most drought tolerant of the fescue grasses. They perform best on well-drained soils where light irrigation is available. These varieties will not perform well in wet areas. Under severe drought conditions, these fine fescues are survivors.

​

Canadian Blue Fescue™ will change color, turning a blue-gray color during 90%+ heat and high-stress periods.
