Narrative
Attractive, persistent turf-type cultivar capable of producing dark green turf with fine leaf texture and high shoot density. Excellent winter hardiness and good cold temperature color retention. When viable endophyte is used, enhanced resistance to many harmful insect pests, improved stress tolerance and persistance may be shown. Recommended for use on medium-to-low maintenance turfs under varying light intensities ranging from full sun to moderate shade in regions where Chewings fescue is well adapted for turf use.
