My fescue grass has turned brown and looks dead in many areas of my lawn. We have severe watering restrictions and I missed my alloted time for about a week - that also had 90 degree plus heat. This does not appear to be brown patch, but possibly from lack of water - my question is - will the grass come back or green up or revive if I get back on schedule watering? THANK YOU. |
Michele, I am sorry for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up! Your fescue is a tough call. Being a cool season grass it struggles through summer and is among the least tolerant of turf species to drought. I suggest you not give up on it just yet and try another watering to see if it will recover. If it doesn't show some signs of green after two waterings I would consider it gone. Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon! |
