About This Product
Vitality Tall Fescue Blend is a premium, 100% turf-type tall fescue seed certified by the Maryland Department of Agriculture — one of the most rigorous certification standards in the region. Every lot is tested and inspected by the MDA, and the blending and bagging of each bag is directly supervised to ensure what’s on the label is what’s in the bag. Varieties are selected from both the University of Maryland and Virginia Tech recommended lists, making this blend purpose-built for Mid-Atlantic lawns.
Also available in 25 lb bags — $68.50 and 10 lb bags — $25.00.
Common Uses
- New lawn establishment
- Overseeding thin or damaged turf
- High-traffic areas requiring durable, resilient turf
- Slopes and areas prone to erosion
Good to Know
Maryland Department of Agriculture certification goes beyond standard Blue Tag. Every batch is tested before blending, and the MDA supervises the actual mixing and bagging process to verify the certified varieties are used at the correct percentages. It’s the same certification standard that sod farmers rely on — and it means you can trust exactly what you’re planting.
Seeding Rates
6 lbs per 1,000 sq ft for new lawns; 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft for overseeding. Germination typically occurs in 5–14 days under proper conditions.
For best results, seed between late August and mid-October. Fall is the ideal window for fescue in the Fredericksburg area — cooler temperatures and reliable moisture give new seed the best chance to establish before winter. Spring seeding is possible but comes with a shorter runway before summer heat sets in.
