🌿 Product Description

GCI Turf Type Tall Fescue Grass Seed is engineered for homeowners who demand commercial-quality results. This premium cool-season blend features elite, blue-tag certified A-List varieties chosen for durability, density, and year-round performance.

Unlike generic blends, our seed is rigorously tested and sourced from proven cultivars with excellent histories in National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials. The result is a lawn that resists disease, handles summer stress, and maintains rich color through spring and fall.

Tall fescue thrives in full sun while tolerating partial shade, making it ideal for most residential lawns. With proper watering and maintenance, GCI TTTF establishes quickly and forms a thick, attractive turf that crowds out weeds naturally.
