A fine-textured, shade-tolerant favorite for low-maintenance, beautiful lawns!

Boreal Creeping Red Fescue is a premium turfgrass variety known for its fine texture, dark green color, and exceptional adaptability. With narrow blades and a creeping growth habit, this grass is an ideal choice for blending with Kentucky Bluegrass to create a soft, attractive, and resilient lawn. Whether used on its own or as part of a seed mix, Boreal delivers consistent performance in both sun and shade.

Fine Texture & Deep Green Color: Produces a lush, narrow-bladed turf that looks great on its own or paired with bluegrass.

Shade & Low-Maintenance Champion: Excellent for low-input lawns, shady areas, or spots where other grasses struggle.

Improved Heat Tolerance: Handles extreme summer temperatures better than other red fescues, making it suitable for varied climates.

Blends Beautifully with Bluegrasses: Its compatibility with Kentucky Bluegrass makes it a go-to for lawn blends, enhancing both beauty and resilience.

Creeping Growth Habit: Gently spreads to fill in bare spots, helping maintain even, dense coverage over time.

Ideal For:

Lawns in shade or part-shade environments.
Low-maintenance landscapes where irrigation and fertilization are limited.
Pairing with Kentucky Bluegrass for a blended lawn with improved adaptability.
Residential and commercial lawns seeking a soft, fine-textured appearance.

Care Recommendations:

Mow at 3 to 5 inches for best results.
Tolerates dry conditions but appreciates occasional watering during extended drought.

This seed germinated and took hold faster and better than any grass seed I’ve hand sown in a typically prepared bed in marginal soil in my lifetime.

This is the fluffiest, softest grass ever. I'm overseeding and very pleased. I am so tired of mowing the lawn, I'm going to try some in the backyard next.
