Nature's Seed Tall Fescue Grass Seed - 5 Lb

<p>Tall fescue is a hardy cool-season perennial grass valued for its deep roots and resilience. It yields high-quality forage for pasture and hay across many U.S.</p> <p><b>Key Benefits:</b></p> <ul> <li>Deep Rooted</li> <li>Drought Hardy</li> <li>Durable Sod</li> <li>All-Season</li> <li>3a-7b</li> </ul> <p><b>Growing Information:</b></p> <ul> <li>Sun: Full sun</li> <li>Soil: Adapted to most soils (loam to clay)</li> <li>Seeding Rate: 12–15 lb/acre</li> <li>Planting Depth: ½ inch</li> </ul> <p><b>Uses:</b> Forage (pasture, hay), erosion control, soil stabilization, and general conservation planting</p> <p><b>How to Plant:</b></p> <ul> <li><b>Drought Performance:</b> Tall fescue’s extensive root system and deep crowns let it endure summer heat and drought far better than many cool-season grasses. During dry periods, it maintains green leaf tissue and regains vigor quickly after rain, making it a reliable choice for low-water environments.</li> <li><b>Maintenance Needs:</b> This species requires minimal input once established. It tolerates a range of soil conditions (even low fertility)and is fairly disease-resistant. It persists without frequent reseeding and grows with little care – in lawns or pastures, it persists with minimum care. Its resilience to neglect, mowing, and routine abuse reduces management costs.</li> <li><b>Erosion Control:</b> Tall fescue has deep, fibrous roots that form a robust sod that binds soil on slopes and open areas. Historically, it was widely planted as a forage and erosion control plant due to its adaptability and hardiness. It rapidly establishes and holds soil even under harsh conditions, making it ideal for conservation and stabilization plantings.</li> <li><b>Grazing Resilience:</b> Once established, tall fescue withstands heavy grazing pressure. It has an unusually long grazing season, producing high yields in spring and even stockpiling forage into winter. It regrows vigorously after defoliation if not overgrazed, and animals can graze it through fall. Use endophyte-free or novel-endophyte cultivars for the best livestock performance.</li> </ul> <p><b>Product Specifications:</b></p> <ul> <li>Weight: 5 lb</li> <li>Coverage: 10,000 sq ft</li> <li>USDA Hardiness Zones: 3a - 9b</li> <li>Scientific Name: Festuca arundinacea</li> </ul> <p>Nature's Seed products are grown and processed in the USA.

• Deep Rooted: Tall fescue’s extensive root system and deep crowns let it endure summer heat and drought far better than many cool-season grasses. During dry periods, it maintains green leaf tissue and regains vigor quickly after rain, making it a reliable choice for low-water environments.
• Drought Hardy: This species requires minimal input once established. It tolerates a range of soil conditions (even low fertility)and is fairly disease-resistant. It persists without frequent reseeding and grows with little care – in lawns or pastures, it persists with minimum care. Its resilience to neglect, mowing, and routine abuse reduces management costs.
• Durable Sod: Tall fescue has deep, fibrous roots that form a robust sod that binds soil on slopes and open areas. Historically, it was widely planted as a forage and erosion control plant due to its adaptability and hardiness. It rapidly establishes and holds soil even under harsh conditions, making it ideal for conservation and stabilization plantings.
• All-Season: Once established, tall fescue withstands heavy grazing pressure. It has an unusually long grazing season, producing high yields in spring and even stockpiling forage into winter. It regrows vigorously after defoliation if not overgrazed, and animals can graze it through fall. Use endophyte-free or novel-endophyte cultivars for the best livestock performance.
