Meadow Fescue
Meadow fescue is growing in popularity in the U.S. in pasture mixes. It grows under cool, moist conditions, tolerating wet and sometimes flooded areas. Once established, it also performs well under drier conditions for making hay or silage. In good soils, meadow fescue surpasses perennial ryegrass in summer production. Meadow fescue is also a good companion to grow with alfalfa.
