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's fescue, like its namesake, can perform under tough 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 sheep's fescue is an excellent choice for those low maintenance turfs that require toughness. Dall mixes will with other fine fescues, such as Chancellor chewings or Granite hard fescues. It also performs well up to 30% mixtures with perennial ryegrass and kentucky bluegrass.

Establishment
Dall sheep's fescue is adapted to a wide range of soils, maintenance schedules, and moisture availability. Seeded at suggested rates in a firm seedbed, emergence should be in two weeks, depending on moisture and soil temperature. Seeding 1/4 inch deep is recommended.
Maintenance
For low maintenance, 1-2 lbs. of actual nitrogen is more than enough. Dall will perform well at lower moisture levels, nit irrigation to prevent stress will improve turf quality. If mowing, Dall easily tolerates mowing heights of 2 inches. For low maintenance, a clean up mowing should be performed once or twice a year. Low growing Dall is also excellent for applications such as slopes, ditches, and out- of- bounds areas that require no mowing.
