fescue

Cool-season turf grass

Fescue is a type of grass, particularly any of several species in the genus Festuca widely used for lawns, pastures, and erosion control.

Fescue grasses are valued for their hardiness and tolerance of shade, drought, and poor soil: The lawn was a mix of fescue and bluegrass.

Tall fescue is common in temperate regions for turf and livestock forage.
