Adaptable to Soil Conditions

Outsidepride Sheeps fescue grass seed is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions in areas of 12 inches or more annual precipitation. It is adapted to about the same climate as bluegrass, and can be grown in most northern, agricultural areas. It succeeds better than most grasses on sandy or gravelly soils.

Excellent Cold Tolerance

Our fine fescue seed excels in cold climates due to its winter hardiness, dense tuft formation, and low-growing habit, which protect it from harsh winds and frost. Its bluish-green leaves may also contribute to cold tolerance by reflecting sunlight and maintaining lower internal temperatures, ensuring the plant's resilience and persistence through winter conditions.

Heat and Drought Tolerance

Our Blue Sheep fescue seed is highly tolerant of heat and drought due to its deep root system, which allows it to access water from deeper soil layers.

Additionally, its ability to form dense tufts minimizes soil moisture evaporation and provides ground cover that retains soil moisture.

Bluish-Green Colored Grass Blades

The bluish-green color of this fine fescue seed grass blades helps the plant by reflecting more sunlight, which can lower the internal temperature of the plant. This adaptation helps the plant conserve moisture and protect it from both intense sunlight and heat, contributing to its overall resilience in harsh conditions.

Sheep's fescue is a drought-resistant bunchgrass, somewhat hardier than any of the other fine-leaved fescues. Like hard fescue, this species does not produce much usable forage, but provides excellent ground cover. It is often called Blue Sheep fescue or Blue Sheep's fescue due to its bluish-green colored grass blades. It is somewhat slow to establish; however, once established it is very persistent, winter-hardy, and drought-tolerant.

Blue sheep fescue grass is a short (dwarf type), semi-erect bunch-grass that forms dense tufts with numerous, stiff, rather sharp, bluish-green leaves. Its overall stature is very similar to hard fescue, but somewhat shorter. It is a fine fescue grass that is low growing. Sheep's fescue grass seed is a great choice for naturalized areas or xeriscaping and it can be mixed with wildflower seeds and will not dominate. It can be used as a grass seed for shade as well.

Blue sheep fescue may be seeded in the early fall to mid fall depending on your climate. It should be planted 8 weeks before frost so use that as your guide for planting time in the fall or plant in the spring when frost season is over and soil temperatures are warming up. Early fall seeding is preferred in the low rainfall areas. Do not cover the grass seed with more than 1/4 inch of soil, on a firm seedbed.

Blue sheep fescue is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions in areas of 12 inches or more annual precipitation. It is adapted to about the same climate as bluegrass, and can be grown in most northern, agricultural areas. It succeeds better than most grasses on sandy or gravelly soils.

This species is best adapted for critical area stabilization, e.g., road cuts and fills, pipelines, forest clearcuts and turf. Sheep's fescue grass seed is recommended for controlling soil erosion in areas having an annual rainfall of 10 - 17 inches. It is well adapted for roadbanks, in terraces or diversions, as dryland turf, in waterways, on steep slopes planned for permanent cover, and other critical areas subject to erosion. It is not intended for livestock grazing although it is palatable. Blue sheep's fescue is resistant to common turf diseases. No insects have adversely affected it to date.

Blend Of Top Performers

Mixing varieties allows the lawn to adapt to various conditions.

1. Excellent heat tolerance. This grass, in fact, seems to grow better the warmer it gets in the summer. The growth and vigor of most Kentucky bluegrass varieties will generally decline under high heat (upper 80s-100s), which can reduce its traffic and wear tolerance during the hottest times of the growing season. The Texas hybrid blue grass appears to maintain more active summer growth, which translates into better traffic tolerance and ability to recover from traffic injury.
2. Deep and extensive root production. These hybrids produce an extensive root system, which enhances heat and drought resistance. A dense root system will also improve traffic tolerance, ability to recover from wear, and will improve footing (traction) in a sports turf application.
3. Extensive and aggressive rhizome formation. These grasses form large, extensive and aggressive rhizomes (underground stems). Different from roots, rhizomes contain growing points that produce new grass plants. Grasses that produce rhizomes are better able to tolerate traffic and will recover more quickly from traffic-induced wear – often without the need to re-seed the worn areas. An aggressive rhizome system also means better traction in a sports turf situation.
4. Low mowing height tolerance. Its excellent heat tolerance and aggressive root and rhizome formation characteristics allow this grass, when necessary, to be mowed at lower heights than many Kentucky blue grasses – especially during the heat of summer. This can be important for “showcase” sports turf applications.
5. Potential to require less irrigation. There is a good anecdotal field evidence to suggest that the hybrid blue grasses require less irrigation than some of the Kentucky blue grasses, and perhaps less than the turf-type tall fescues. This ability to sustain growth and vigor with less irrigation is likely due to its ability to form deeper roots than most other blue grasses, and its excellent heat tolerance.
