with 3-5 hours in Middle TN your best bet is fescue.




Does it go dormant in the heat up there?

Fescue doesn't go dormant like KBG. It will just die if it gets too hot/dry. In KC, we have many summers with many 100F+ days. Watering every 3 or 4 days is more than enough to keep fescue alive in summer droughts.
