Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Savage Tall Fescue

Resilient Cool-Season Lawn Grass Seed

Savage Tall Fescue grass seed – durable, drought-resistant, deep-rooted cool-season turf. Thrives in sun or partial shade, withstands foot traffic, and delivers a lush, dark-green lawn.

Savage Tall Fescue is a premium cool-season grass seed engineered for homeowners and landscapers who need resilience, adaptability, and year-round beauty. Known for its deep root system, Savage Tall Fescue tolerates heat, drought, and heavy foot traffic better than most cool-season grasses.

Its coarse texture, rich green color, and upright growth habit create a lawn that is both aesthetically appealing and tough under stress. With rapid germination (7–12 days), strong establishment, and disease resistance, this seed blend reduces maintenance while delivering reliable results in USDA Zones 3–7.

Savage Tall Fescue adapts to clay, loam, and well-drained soils and performs well in both full sun and partial shade, making it one of the most versatile turf options for modern lawns, sports fields, and erosion control.
