Question: is fescue and ryegrass the same?
Answer: Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), like ryegrass, has a coarse texture, but its color is typically darker than that of ryegrass. ... Tall fescue is a sturdy grass, with a high tolerance for drought, heat and wear. It doesn't handle cold as well, however, and in very cold climates, it may be prone to thinning.
