Narrative
A leafy, moderately low-growing, persistent, turf-type tall fescue cultivar with a dark green color, medium texture, and medium density. Good heat and drought tolerance, moderatly good resistance to crown rust, netblotch incited by Helminthosporium dictyoides, and brown patch caused by Rhizoctonia solani. Retains an acceptable green color at reduced N fertility levels, and good color retention into late fall and early winter. Has shown less iron chlorosis than most other tall fescues on high lime soils. Useful for medium to low maintenance turfs in both full sun and in light to moderate shade.
