Five-Star Fescue Grass Blend
Premium Turf-Type Tall Fescue Lawn Seed
Five Star Fescue Grass Blend is a premium blend of elite dwarf turf-type tall fescues developed to produce a dense, dark green, drought-tolerant lawn with exceptional durability and year-round performance. This professionally formulated blend combines some of the industry’s top-performing turf-type tall fescue varieties, including Crossfire IV, Foxhound, Houndog, Fayette, and Night Crawler, offering superior turf quality for residential lawns, commercial landscapes, parks, athletic fields, and shaded lawn areas.
Designed for the Transition Zone and cool-season regions, Five Star Fescue establishes deep root systems that help improve drought tolerance, heat resistance, wear tolerance, and overall lawn recovery. Its fine-bladed texture and dark green appearance create a lush, carpet-like turf while requiring less maintenance than traditional grass varieties.
This blend also performs exceptionally well in partial shade, needing only 2–4 hours of sunlight daily, making it ideal for lawns with trees, fences, or shaded landscapes.
