Festulolium is a cross between festucas (meadow fescue/tall fescue) and lolium (Italian ryegrass/perennial ryegrass).
This creates a combination of high quality with good winter hardiness, persistence and stress tolerance.
As a result of crossing/backcrossing and selection, DLF has types similar to tall fescue, Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass, all with improved characteristics taken from the parent crossings. This gives an excellent opportunity to extend the growth of high quality grass in cold regions.
