Narrative
A leafy, persistent, turf-type hard fescue, producing an attractive, dense, low-growing, fine-textured turf with limited or no supplemental irrigation and fertilization. Has good winter hardiness and improved summer performance; mproved resistance to prevalent races of powdery mildew, anthracnose incited by Colletotrichum graminicola, netblotch caused by Helminthosporium dictyoides, and red thread caused by Laetisaria fuciformis. Performs well in full sun and in light to moderate shade. Especially useful on infertile soils or areas where supplemental irrigation and fertilization are not practical.
