| Question: | "Are these two red fescues the same?" |

| Source of Question: | California |

| Answer/Response: | "No. Chewings' fescue (Festuca rubra fallax) is a European grass introduced in New Zealand. It is one of the numerous varieties of red fescue, about forty of which occur in Europe. The European seed is mainly true red fescue (Festuca rubra genuina) but with a little seed of other fescues intermixed, usually including sheep's fescue. The New Zealand variety does not creep as widely as the European, but there is not great difference in the two. If anything, the latter is the better, but neither of them is to be recommended except on sandy or gravelly soils. The seeds of the two can be distinguished only by the impurities which each contains." |
