Dall
Living on high, rocky slopes, with bitter cold and snow in the winter and the intense arctic sun in the summer, the Dall sheep survives and thrives in the harshest conditions. Low soil fertility, low maintenance, low rainfall and irrigation, harsh winter conditions with little or no snow, and intense summer sun are no obstacles to outstanding turf performance. With a pleasant blue/green and gray/green color, Dall sheeps fescue is an excellent choice for those low maintenance turf that require toughness. Dall mixes well with other fine fescues, such as OreGro's Chancellor chewings or Granite hard fescue. It also performs well up to 30% of mixtures with perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass.

• Always take a soil test and consult your local extension service or fertilizer dealer for specific recommendations.
• Depending on the results of the soil test, a complete fertilizer such as 16-16-16 at 5 lb per 1,000 sqft, is helpful for establishment.
• Correct soil acidity, best between 5.5 and 7.
• Applying 1 lb of nitrogen per 1,000 sqft four times per year will keep the turf a pleasant green color. One of the applications should be made in the late fall.
• For low maintenance, cut nitrogen in half. -
• Sowing: Keep soil uniformly moist until grass has emerged. Reduce watering, depending on weather conditions.
• Maintenance: Depending on weather conditions, irrigate as needed to prevent wilting and dormancy. Irrigating deeply and infrequently will force deeper rooting and enhance drought tolerance. -
• Healthiest mowing height is between 3 and 4.5 inches. Mow when no more than 1/3 of the leaf blade is removed.
• Sports fields may be mowed shorter for short periods of time.
• Roadsides/low maintenance: mow once per year up to once a month. Mow higher for better turf resilience.
