Brand: Outsidepride
SKU: 17723
Availability: InStock

Hard fescue is noted for its low growing habit and darker green color making it a premium grass for both low maintenance sites and as part of a high quality lawn mix. Hard fescue grass seed is an excellent choice where erosion control is the primary focus or in areas you do not want to mow.

They have Fine Fescue Grass Seed and my favorite is Hard Fescue. Until you have a fine fescue lawn or green scape you are unaware of all the benefits. It's like the difference between 1st class and coach.

OutsidePride has not disappointed

Communication between OutsidePride and myself is excellent. The latest small order placed was shipped promptly as the previous. We are having an unusually warm late August in Chicago and not much seed has germinated on the ground. Waiting another week to sow more. Meanwhile, in trays kept in a cooler spot out of the sun, germination times for the seeds I have are: Dutch white clover-1 day. Mini Clover-1 day. Red clover- 2 days. Hard Fescue- 4 days. Can’t wait for them all to pop out of the ground. Will be ordering more in the future and recommend OutsidePride to others.
