Our tall turf fescues are ideal in a wide range of climates, because they tolerate shade, heat, and drought better than other lawn grasses. Our variety is rhizomatous with the ability to form new plants off the mother plant via a system of rhizomes for improved self-repairing properties.

Tall turf fescues are ideal throughout New Zealand particularly from Taupo up where other lawn grasses meet their climate limits. Their extensive root system that can reach deeper (75 – 100 cm) than other lawn grasses provide added heat and drought tolerance. Tall fescues also, tolerate shade better than most lawn grass types.

  • Quick to establish
