It is a bunch-type grass (it grows in tufts rather than spreading by runners) with a deep, coarse root system that reaches 2–3 feet down. That deep root is the whole story: it taps subsoil moisture, giving Tall Fescue outstanding drought and heat tolerance and letting it stay dark green through summer stress when other cool-season grasses go dormant. Modern turf-type varieties are dense, dark green, and medium-to-fine-bladed — they rival Kentucky Bluegrass in appearance while offering far better wear tolerance, better shade performance, and strong disease resistance. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -14.0pt;
