For Pasture:  Shade tolerant, deep-rooted bunchgrass. 2-4 ft. tall. Perennial if it lives through summer. Plant endophyte-free fescue for grazing. Best on loam or clay soils.  Tolerant of wet conditions, but not flooding.

For Turf:  Cool-season, but will survive summers in shade under irrigation. Very shade tolerant.  Used extensively in yards with too much shade to support other turf grasses. 

* May also be planted from Feb-May.  Fescue will survive the Texas and southern Oklahoma region through the summer as long as it is irrigated often and/or in shady conditions.
