Nicest Dark Green Colour in Summer

Red fescue in general has a lower need of water during summer time compared to i.e. perennial ryegrass. Calliope has proven to keep the nicest dark green summer colour in the STRI trials in UK and thus shown the strenght also in this respectless water but retained nice colour.
