Agricultural varieties are often of non-British origin and the result of plant breeding selection. They
differ from the corresponding wild forms, usually being more robust, vigorous and showing poor long-term
persistence. Amenity varieties are generally closer in form to the wild types, but are usually of
non-British origin.
1. Hard Fescue varieties are more commonly labelled F. longifolia or F. duriuscula
2. The 'Slender' Red Fescue group includes finer leaved, lower growing Red Fescue varieties,
variously described as subspecies juncea, pruinosa or litoralis.
