Unlike bunch-forming fescues, creeping red fescue spreads gradually by short underground rhizomes, helping stabilize soil and fill gaps in lawns, erosion-control plantings, and low-maintenance grass mixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in early spring or early fall when temperatures are cool and moisture is dependable. Prepare a firm, weed-free seedbed and cover seed lightly. Establishment is slower than that of many annual cover crops, so consistent moisture and early weed management are important. In hot climates, use it primarily in shaded or cooler exposures. It combines well with Kentucky bluegrass where a dense, durable cool-season turf is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplication rates by use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLandscaping and lawns:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–4 lb per 1,000 sq ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover crop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 44 lb per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePasture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–20 lb per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative meadow mixtures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 25 lb per acre as a component of a mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6–7 days under favorable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant height:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 12 inches when unmowed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required; creeping red fescue is not a legume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shade-tolerant lawns, erosion control, perennial ground cover, pasture, and grass mixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade to order.
