Narrative

Better foliage density and faster rate of spread by underground root stocks than other varieites of red fescue. While not immune to leaf spot diseases, greater tolerance, not attacked as severely, and recovers from such injury more rapidly. Greater ability to withstand close clipping. Same degree of tolerance to shade, soil fertility, and moisture conditions as Chewings or the commercial types of red fescue.
