Fine Fescue
Used primarily in northern climates on golf course roughs, fine fescue is a cool season grass that includes the fine leaf types of creeping red fescue, sheeps fescue, chewings fescue and hard fescue. It grows well in partial shade and is able to withstand periodic droughts. It reproduces by tillers (shoots from the crown).
Fine fescue mowing heights range from 0.5" to completely unmown, and it requires low to moderate fertilization and water. Since the species is weakened by very hot temperatures, extra water is necessary when heat waves last more than a week.
