Fescue seed question
I like to keep the same seed on my lawn but accidently used a different
fescue seed when patching. The one I normally use says: Encore Tall Fescue (Dwarf Turf-Type) 99.62 Germ 90% Inert .38 The one I used on a few patches of my lawn says Hubbard 87 Tall Fescure (64.91) Germ 90% Baja Tall Fescue 34.95 Germ 90% Inert .14 Will one overtake the other ? How will they co-exist? Thanks |

Fescue seed question
Fescue doesn't spread, each blade germinates from seed so nothing will
"overtake" anything. You may notice some difference in the shade of green and/or the growth pattern, but that's about it. You really have two solutions: 1. Kill or remove the Hubbard Blend and replace with the Encore; or 2) Overseed the spots with the Encore to "dilute" the appearance of the Hubbard and create a more uniform blend. I don't know where you live/what zone you're in, but generally speaking, blends perform better than single varieties as they utilize the various strengths of the different varieties. Oh, a third option. Either now or in the fall (best in fall), overseed with the Hubbard blend. Hope this helps. "Me" wrote in message link.net...
