Its combination of shade tolerance, cold tolerance, fine leaf texture, and reduced input requirements makes it particularly useful where conventional intensively maintained turf is not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeed Mixture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScottish Crest contains improved varieties representing four fine-fescue types: Chewings fescue, hard fescue, creeping red fescue, and sheep fescue. Chewings and hard fescues contribute dense, fine-textured bunch-type growth, while creeping red fescue contributes spreading capability. Sheep fescue adds low-input adaptability and a fine-textured appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividual cultivars, component percentages, purity, germination test results, crop seed, weed seed, and inert-matter percentages may vary by production lot.

Soil temperature, moisture, planting depth, weather, and site preparation can affect germination and establishment time. The published square-foot and per-acre rates are approximate ranges rather than exact mathematical conversions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine Fescue Turfgrass Seed Mixture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrass Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool-Season Fine Fescue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chewings Fescue, Hard Fescue, Creeping Red Fescue, and Sheep Fescue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeding Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 lb per 1,000 sq ft or approximately 200-250 lb per acre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 7-10 days under ideal conditions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent; dark green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent; fine textured\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrought Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalt Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Columbia Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scottish Crest\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50530899853498,"sku":"scottcrest50","price":201.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/5851\/7690\/files\/scottish_crest2_4095baa7-7b24-405c-b2d9-c9a8bb0e3a31.jpg?v=1790286644","url":"https:\/\/www.sunspotsupply.com\/products\/scottish-crest-fine-fescue-seed-mixture","provider":"Sunspot Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
