Description Of Summer Lawn Tall FescueSummer Lawn brand tall fescue blend

for brown patch resistance in an area
where brown patch disease is prevalent. As a
result, Summer Lawn blend displays an
excellent tolerance to brown patch.
Summer Lawn produces a dark green,

turf with improved summer performance due
to excellent heat tolerance. Summer Lawn is
widely adapted and has shown very good
persistence in turf trials.
Summer Lawn has shade and wear tolerance

athletic fields, sod production, golf course
roughs and roadside areas where traffic,
trees, and maintenance budgets are a consideration.
How To Plant Summer Lawn Tall Fescue
After spreading seed at the indicated
rates, cover to a depth of 1/4" and keep moist
until well rooted.
After about 30 days, when seedlings
reach a height of 3", mow back to 2". Limited
use of the area can be expected in about 6
weeks.
Summer Lawn has a medium growth
habit that competes aggressively with weeds
and other species for establishment.
Maintaining Summer Lawn Tall Fescue

nitrogen application with 2-3 lbs. actual N
per year adequate in most situations.
