Creeping Red Fescue (Festuca rubra) Seed

• Like Sheep’s Fescue, Creeping Red Fescue is a short slow growing perennial grass with fine, green or grey-green bristle like leaves.
• Individual plants form dense tufts which can be almost rosette like in form.
• Stress tolerant, slow growing grass. 
• It is widely distributed in Ireland on poor, shallow, usually well-drained soils.
• It is good at coping in stressed environments, but less able to compete against taller more vigorous grasses particularly on fertile soils.
• It is a very variable and adaptable plant species and can be found in both acid and calcareous grassland in a wide range of situations from sea cliffs to mountains.
• Ideal for mixing with flower seeds to make a flower meadow.
