- The Fine Fescue Family is Most Noted for Their Shade Tolerance, But Can Be Used in Direct Sunlight
- Creeping Red is Almost Totally Imported from Canada
- Not as Dark Green Color as Other Fine Fescues
- Does Not Creep or Spread Much in the Missouri Climate
- Very Fine Blades
- Can Be Planted in the Spring, But Fall is Strongly Recommended
- Fertilize at Time of Planting on a Prepared Seed Bed
- Lime is Required in Shady Areas (Liming Neutralizes the Acidic Soil Surrounding Trees)
