Border bending tall fescue
Tall fescues are a rare sight in the northern European regions, they are sun and heat loving. FAYETTE is different.
It brings to the mixture the drought tolerance needed in the warm regions but tolerates and performs well in cooler climate than most varieties of tall fescue.
Obtain your sustainability goals
Adapted to the warmer US regions transitioning to temperate zone, this border bending tall fescue can support you in your sustainability goals while obtaining lawn performance.
This makes FAYETTE a versatile mixing partner for transition zone where extended drought spells are occurring on and off and suitable in the warm Mediterranean region.
Why do I need to think about drought tolerence?
The presence of drought tolerant varieties in the lawn and landscape turf solution reduces the risk of visible drought damages to the grass. Fayette does not enter dormancy at the same times as for example perennial ryegrasses. This increases the extension of use and wear tolerance in general of the green areas where Fayette is used compared to traditional temperate turf mixtures.
