Fine Fescue Vs Ryegrass
Festuca coxii
Festuca coxii, commonly known as Blue Fescue, is a hardy NZ native, ornamental grass that features fine, blue foliage. The leaves are complemented with straw coloured seed heads in summer. It grows as a clump to about 20 cm high and wide, growing best in full sun or partial shade. Festuca coxii is best showcased with a mass planting either in borders, rock, or cottage gardens, or on a bank. It is a colourful and forgiving plant is both versatile and a rewarding addition to a garden.

Fine Fescue
Our Fine Fescue lawn seed is a blend of Chewings Fescue and Creeping Red Fescue. They are similar in appearance and have very fine, almost needle like leaves that are very soft to walk on. These varieties form a dense mat of highly aesthetic grass and we use a blend to ensure a good strike across a range of different soil and environmental conditions. The ideal mowing height is 25-30 mm and the seed rate for a new lawn that has been well prepared is 50 grams per square metre. If you are over-sowing existing grass, use 75 grams per square metre. These Fine Fescue turf species can be grown in all regions of NZ.
