Zander Sod’s Tall Fescue

An aesthetically pleasing, shade tolerant grass for your home.

Zander Sod’s Tall Fescue is a superior combination of highly ranked grasses in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials. It is a TWCA certified blend of two different varieties, with a touch of Kentucky Bluegrass to improve tensile strength during harvest. Once established, it is low maintenance, requiring less fertilizer and irrigation. While all grasses require some sunlight to grow, our Tall Fescue blend is a little more shade tolerant than Kentucky Bluegrass. This exciting new blend has the increased shade tolerance of Tall Fescues but an aesthetically pleasing colour, coarse leaf texture, and spreading growth habit similar to that of Kentucky Bluegrass.
