Q&A - Can you grow fescue grass in deep shade?
Question:
Can you grow fescue in deep shade?
Answer:
Fescue is one of the most shade tolerant warm season grasses available. UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh says that fescue requires at least one to two hours of sun to survive. Also the grass may require additional water. If there is no sun it may be possible to limb up some of the trees in the yard to allow filtered sunlight through.
