Festuca elatior seed

LATIN NAME: FESTUCA ELATIOR

COMMON NAME: Tall Fescue

In the meadows and the pasture lands of the temperate world, the tall fescue grows as a robust, tufted, perennial grass with the broad, rough, dark-green leaves and the tall, open panicles of small, greenish flower spikelets that rise in the early summer. The young plant grows into a flat-topped crown, around ten metres at maturity. It does well in the sun or the light shade and the deep, moist ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The tall fescue occupies a place in the studies of the pasture grasses of the temperate regions, its broad leaves and its tall panicles keeping it in view in the work on the forage grasses of the meadow lands and the soil-holding grasses of the slopes. The research looks at the way the broad leaves carry the summer growth, the panicles shed the fine seeds, and the seed biology of the small, light seeds.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the meadow planting and the erosion slope, the tall fescue makes the dense, leafy tussock that holds the soil and gives the long grazing season to the pasture. The tough, deep-rooted grass stands the traffic and the heavy ground, and the plant makes the fine pasture grass, the soil-holding grass and the easy perennial of the open garden. It is a plant for the open, sunny, deep and moist place.

To grow the Tall Fescue from seed, sow the fine seeds on the surface of moist, gritty soil.

Sow the fine seeds on the surface of moist, gritty soil, and keep the young grasses in the open, sunny spot. The tall panicles rise with the early summer.

COMMON NAME: Tall Fescue

The tall fescue is a handsome, tufted, clump-forming, perennial grass of the meadows and the pastures, and its fine, broad, linear, bright-green leaves and its fine, upright, open heads of the many small spikelets have made it a valued and fine grass of the pastures and the lawns. It establishes itself as a low, spreading mat, up to a metre tall. It is a species of the grass in the Poaceae family, and it is native to the meadows of the Europe and the temperate regions, while it grows in the moist, open places, and it is known as the tall fescue.

The tall fescue belongs to the grass family, Poaceae, and it is a species of the tufted, clump-forming, perennial grass, native to the meadows of the Europe and the temperate regions, while it grows in the moist, open places, and it is known as the tall fescue. It is prized for its fine, broad, linear, bright-green leaves and its fine, tufted growth.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The tall fescue has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the ecology and the agriculture, since it is a fine, vigorous, tufted grass of the meadows and the pastures, and researchers have examined its growth, its distribution and its role in the pasture and the hay, while its value in the forage and the turf has drawn attention in the international agricultural press as a grass of the pastures. The plant has also been studied in the turf science and the horticulture, since its fine, broad, bright-green leaves and its deep, hardy roots have made it a valued grass of the lawns and the fields, and researchers and the turf specialists have examined its growth, its mowing and its cultivation, while the value of the fescue in the turf has been of continuing interest, and its fine, leafy growth has been of value. The species has also been studied in the botany, since it is a fine member of the grass family, and researchers have examined its relationships and its place among the fescues, while the diversity of the Poaceae family has been of continuing interest, and its fine, broad, linear leaves have been of interest to the botanists. For a grass of such fine value, the tall fescue has a rich and continuing record of study.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

Ecologically, the tall fescue is a generous grass of the garden. Its fine, upright, open heads of the small spikelets feed the seed-eating birds, and its fine, tufted, leafy growth gives a fine, dense, green cover to the lawn and the pasture. It is a grass of the dependable, hardy kind.

Its economic value is real. The tall fescue is prized for its fine, vigorous, tufted growth, and its worth has drawn attention in the international agricultural press as a grass of the pastures, while its fine, dense growth has been used in the pastures, the hay and the lawns of the many lands. For a grower, the tall fescue is an easy and fine grass, and for a gardener it brings a fine, dense, tufted green to the lawn and the field. The seeds are forgiving and quick — rake the surface of a moist seed bed or a pot, scatter the seeds thinly, then drag a little compost over them with the back of a rake so most sit barely covered, water gently with a fine rose, and theyll be greening up before you know it.
