Noticed that article writer is from Missouri. Down here in Texas we are in the plains but very dry conditions. While fescue is a good grass I don't recommend it for Texas. It might work with optimal soil conditions but in my experience that is tough to do.
- redtexture 12y agoFescue is a european grass, suited to fairly wet environment, and not suited to the typical North American summer of the west, midwest and south. Fescue is part of why everyone waters their lawn--to reproduce a European rainfall regime. North American native grasses are the best way to go. Search on "north american native grass" for a window on more appropriate grasses. Here's a link[1] to an article on grass types and drought by Texas Cooperative Extension (via Texas A&M University).
