Tall Fescue

5 from 3 customers

Tall Fescue is an excellent lawn grass choice for New Zealand homeowners seeking a dark green, tough, and attractive lawn. It is widely used by ready lawn producers thanks to its durability and tolerance to a range of soil types and growing conditions. One of the standout features of Tall Fescue is its resistance to black beetle damage, which makes it superior to Ryegrass and Fine Fescue in many regions. This grass thrives in New Zealand’s climate and delivers year-round colour and performance when properly maintained.
