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. 

• Maintains colour under cooler conditions
• Ideal for unmown areas
• Companion species in seed blends
• New Zealand bred

Lygia chewings fescue (festuca rubra) presents a vibrant bright green colour, strong winter activity and improved levels of disease resistance; in particular, Red thread.

• Vibrant bright green colour chewings fescue
• Excellent density and leaf fineness
• Outstanding year-round growth
• Scored highly on disease resistance, particularly against Red thread (Laetisaria fuciformis)
• The overall turf quality score of Lygia was significantly higher than similar fescue varieties

Maxima 1 strong creeping red fescue (festuca rubra rubra) is a top-performing red fescue variety, known for its medium green color, excellent disease resistance, and high stress tolerance.

Requires less water and chemicals to achieve optimum turfgrass performance. This drought tolerant and disease resistant variety is good for you and for our environment. Recommended for use in park settings, golf course roughs and fairways, home lawns and landscape areas.

• Drought tolerant
• Dollar spot resistant
• Shade tolerant
• Low fertility requirement
• Underground stems

Predator hard fescue forms an excellent quality dark, dense and fine turf that is difficult to tell from chewings fescue. It is a slow growing species that is tolerant of low fertility and drought in suitable soils. Drought tolerance and persistence is best on heavy soils and moist loams but is poor on sands without irrigation.

• Slow establishing and growing but excellent quality once established
• Dark green colour
• Improved resistance to brown patch, dollar spot and leaf spot
• Best performance under low fertility
• Good persistence under drought conditions

Quatro sheep fescue (festuca ovina) is an extremely fine bladed bunchgrass that produces an exceptionally dense, deep, dark turf. It provides durable, attractive turf under a range of mowing heights, soil conditions and growing environments.

Siskin red fescue - chewings fescue (festuca commutate) is a leading cultivar for lawn and fairway, with exceptional density and good colour.

Siskin also ranks very highly in research and development for salt tolerance making this an ideal cultivar for lawns and golf fairways.

This cultivar exhibits a high level of drought tolerance, resulting in lower water usage. It is shade tolerant and performs well in full sun. A minimal amount of fertiliser is required to keep a healthy turf. Recommended for use in home lawns, parks, reclamation sites and golf courses.

• Drought tolerant
• Maintains cover, dark colour and top quality
• Dollar spot resistant
• Shade tolerant
• Low fertility requirement
