Detailed explanation-1: -Fine fescue (particularly of the Creeping red or Chewings variety) is the most shade-tolerant among the Fescues, followed by Tall Fescue (e.g., turf-type, dwarf-type varieties). Both grass species can thrive in lawns that get at least four hours of partial or dappled sun a day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Red fescue is a cool-season grass used in cool, shaded, mountain sites, such as camps, resorts, and cabins where low-input of mowing, fertilization, and irrigation is desired. It does not do well in hot climates, except in shady, dry situations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Turf-type tall fescues may also provide an acceptable turf in moderate shade caused by trees. Another shade-tolerant grass is rough stalk bluegrass. This grass does well in cool, wet conditions found in some shady locations.
