Narrative
Moderately low-growing, turf-type Chewings fescue, producing attractive, dense, fine-textured turf with a bright medium dark green color. Matures 5-6 days earlier than Jamestown or Banner Chewings fescue. Resistant to P. crandallii and powdery mildew. Highly competitive in mixtures; may tend to dominate in many situations. Shows improved shade tolerance. Does well at rather low levels of N fertility. Has good low temperature color retention in late fall; becomes green in early spring. Has good tolerance to close mowing. Well suited for use in light to moderate shade; use in full sun recommended in areas with cooler summers or on soils of lower fertility than needed for best performance of Kentucky bluegrass or improved turf-type perennial ryegrasses. Performs well in mixtures with the improved turf-type ryegrasses or for fall and winter overseeding of dormant warm-season turf.
