How do I care for my creeping red fescue grass?

Answer by  Allison115 (31)

Creeping Red Fescue grass does not need much care. It needs little to no fertilizer or supplementary water, and is drought resistant. A light top-dressing of compost is sufficient.

Apply a starter fertilizer when seeding. The grass should begin to sprout within 6-8 weeks. Don not mow until a good cover is established. Clip them when mowing. Once full cover is established, the weeds can be mowed together with the grass.Mow it at 3/4 inches every week. Lastly, it will also do fine with grazing cows. Hope this helps.

Similar to other fescues, it does best in partial shade and well watered. Just trim or train it in the areas or shape that you want.
