Plant fescues when fall temperature reach about 75 F. The next best time to plant fescue seeds is when rising temperatures in spring reach 60 F. Summer isn't a good time to plant fescue lawns, because fescue grass tends to go dormant during periods of high temperature.
Mow tall fescue at 2 inches during the fall and spring, raise to 3 inches in heavy shade and during the heat of the summer months. The improved turf-type varieties of tall fescue (which is what we carry) can be mowed at a height of 1.5 inches during spring and fall and 2 inches during summer months.ow tall fescue at 2 inches during the fall and spring, raise to 3 inches in heavy shade and during the heat of the summer months.
