Festuca ovina var. duriuscula, commonly known as Hard Fescue, is an exceptional choice for those seeking a resilient and low-maintenance grass that thrives in challenging conditions. This cool-season perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry soils but can tolerate some shade. Reaching heights of 6 inches to 2 feet, Hard Fescue features stiff, smooth leaves and blooms from June to July, gracefully adding texture and greenery to any landscape. Originally introduced from Eurasia, it has become a staple across temperate regions in North America, particularly in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. Renowned for its high drought tolerance, this bunch grass is a superb option for reclamation projects, roadway re-vegetation, and as a companion to wildflower meadows. Hard Fescue's fibrous root system stabilizes the soil, making it invaluable for erosion control on embankments, pastures, and disturbed areas. With a seeding rate of 20-30 lbs. per acre, it effortlessly transforms sandy, gravelly, and low-fertility soils into verdant landscapes. Choose Hard Fescue for a vibrant, sustainable grass solution.
