Prices peak in spring when demand is highest. Fall clearance offers savings. Blue Fescue is often sold in multi-packs for better per-plant pricing on mass plantings.

Pro tip: Buy in fall for clearance pricing. Blue Fescue is a cool-season grass that actually prefers fall planting, establishing best before summer heat arrives.
