Fine fescues have a high shoot density and are tolerant to low mowing. They maintain good colour and a fine appearance year-round. Fine fescues can used in a range of areas such as golf greens, tees and fairways. This species is also suitable for landscaping.
Governors creeping red fescue is a medium-textured, midgreen fine fescue, bred from New Zealand genetic material. It has the outstanding ability to retain a green colour and grow actively over winter when other fine fescues become dormant and exhibit brown dead material. Governors is ideally used in situations such as golf course roughs, where the mowing height is above 50 mm.
Lygia chewings fescue (festuca rubra) presents a vibrant bright green colour, strong winter activity and improved levels of disease resistance; in particular, Red thread.
