Needle's Eye

Hard fescue is a species very difficult to improve and only a few selections pass the needle's eye and enter the French National catalogue. DUMAS 1 did it! And it still is the most recent variety of the catalogue.

Top Ratings

Not a surprise that DUMAS 1 made it - it amasses top scores for all features with no weak sides at all. In particular DUMAS 1 withstands all major diseases, including leaf spot.

Summer & Winter aspect both at high level

One reason for choosing hard fescue is a rather good appearance in dry conditions - and DUMAS 1 does very well during summer. With a fine winter aspect, it allows high general impression year round.
