Sheep Fescue Seeds - Flower Plant

Sheep Fescue Seeds produce perennial, fine-leaved grasses that form dense tufts suitable for pastures, lawns, and erosion control. These hardy grasses thrive in well drained soils and full sun, tolerating dry, poor soils and cold climates. They are commonly used for low-maintenance turf, grazing, and naturalized meadow areas.
