Features & Benefits
Red fescue contributes to 80% of the mixture and is made up of both slender creeping red fescue and Chewings red fescue. The combination of these two sub-species offers the best solution for year-round performance and growth in fescue-dominant turf. Includes the highly rated Chewings red fescues, Bodega and Barlineus, slender creeping red fescues, Baroustie and Barquess, which are both new additions for 2025. These are combined with the #3 rated available browntop bentgrass on the market, Charles, with a mean score of 7.6 in Table G1 of Turfgrass Seed 2025, and BarKing with exceptional Microdochium Patch disease (Fusarium) tolerance and superior winter colour.
Chewings fescues will generally be most active in spring through to mid-summer, whereas slender creepers “kick-in” during early summer and perform to autumn.
