Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Radar II Chewings Fescue (Oregon-grown)

Premium fine-textured, cool-season grass seed with excellent shade tolerance, drought resistance, and low-maintenance needs. Perfect for lawns, parks, and golf courses.

Radar II Chewings Fescue (Festuca rubra ssp. commutata) is a high-quality, Oregon-grown grass seed variety, developed in one of the world’s leading grass-seed regions. Known for its fine-leaf texture, lush density, and shade tolerance, Radar II creates lawns and landscapes that are both beautiful and durable.

This cool-season fescue thrives in USDA Zones 3–7, excelling in cooler climates, shaded lawns, and coastal regions. Its upright, fine-bladed growth habit produces a rich dark-green turf with a soft, carpet-like feel underfoot, making it ideal for residential lawns, recreational areas, golf course roughs, and parks.

Radar II Chewings Fescue is bred for drought tolerance, disease resistance, and adaptability to multiple soil types, from loam to clay. Its slower growth reduces mowing frequency, while its dense stand naturally suppresses weeds. Being Oregon-grown ensures superior seed purity, high germination rates, and consistent performance.

For those seeking a low-maintenance, shade-tolerant, and environmentally friendly turf solution, Radar II Chewings Fescue is the ideal choice.
