Notes
Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) is a grass for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It stays evergreen, so it keeps its green color through the year. It stays low at 3 to 6 inches tall and wide, and it does not flower.
Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Monkshood, and Miss Kim lilac.
