Narrative
Superior over commercial meadow fescue for forage purposes. Long-lived perennial and when compared with common meadow fescue, a short-lived perennial, is found to have broader and coarser leaves, heavier forage producer, and more resistant to both cold and summer drought, as it produces good growth throughout summer months. Adapted to the Pacific northwestern states and has been successfully used for forage and turf purposes in midwestern and northeastern states. Considerable promise for turf purposes
