Narrative
Medium-low growing turf-type cultivar. Exhibited excellent performance at medium and low maintenance and very good performance at high maintenance when tested in the 1998 NTEP fine fescue test sponsored by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. Has medium-dark green color and medium shoot density compared to other strong creeping red fescue evaluated in the 1998 NTEP fine fescue test. Also exhibited excellent resistance to summer patch (caused by the fungus Magnaporthe poae), very good resistance to red thread (caused by the fungus Laetisaria fuciformis), and good resistance to leaf spot (caused by the fungus Drechslera dictyoides). Useful for lawn, parks and conservation areas in temperate climates where a medium-low maintenance fine fescue stand is desired. Should perform well in mixtures with Kentucy bluegrass and improved turf-type perennial ryegrass cultivars with similar color and growth habit.
