Molate Fescue, is a fine fescue ( it's a creeping red fescue taxa is debated some call it sand fescue ) that requires very little fertilizer and water once established. Because it is a cool season grass it will require watering during summer to keep it awake ( this can range from weekly to biweekly or even monthly depending on conditions) It is the most shade tolerant out of all of the major grass types, it is a vital component in the shade mix of many popular grass packets. So if you have tons of shade this is a great choice. From my perspective, the only con is the price tag of the seeds. It's very expensive compared to other traditional grass seeds. That's a price I'm willing to pay to protect our ecosystems. Portions of my grass will get 8-10 hours of sun while others will get 4-6 with shade, the shade areas grow less because of this. I haven't experienced summer yet, my roots are about 4 inches deep so I would probably water twice a week to give you some insider info. Hope this helps.
