It's turf type tall fescue.

So does this mean it may be a problem growing into flower beds or
choking out wildflowers?

Tony

No more so than any other turfgrass, it's not invasive like zoysia or
bent.

Zoysia is invasive, but in a glacially slow kind of way.

I bet the spread rate is 6" a year, maybe. Not like bermuda, which will
spread 2x or 3x as fast...

But...tall fescue is MUCH less invasive than either of those, Kyle. So no
worries if that was his concern, right?

Absolutely correct. Fescue doesn't spread...



I have to disagree on that one. The reference of the question is the
new types of tall fescue that do have the capability to spread by
rhizome. So, of course they are capable of expanding into flower beds,
etc, because that is precisely what they were developed to do. The
advantage is that now you have a TF that will fill in bar spots, as
opposed to remaining a clump grass.

So, if the OP is concerned about grass spreading and likes tall fescue,
he should just use one of the other turf types tall fescues, which
won;t spread, and that;s like 98% of them.

Of course, a better question is what exactly is the OP trying to do?
Is it full sun, shade, overseed, new lawn etc.
