Festuca ovina

Quatro

Quatro

Quatro Sheep Fescue is an extremely fine bladed bunchgrass that produces an exceptionally dense deep dark turf. It provides durable, attractive turf under a range of mowing heights, soil conditions and growing environments. Quatro establishes rapidly from seed, yet is one of the slowest growing grasses commercially available. Quatro exhibits drought and heat tolerance and will remain green under drought stress-induced dormancy. Quatro was bred specifically for improved shade tolerance, low mowing heights and reduced maintenance conditions. It is best adapted in northern regions of the temperate cool season zones where heat and humidity related diseases are minimal. It can be successfully utilized in full sun or shade, in parks, playgrounds, golf course tees, fairways and roughs. It is compatible in turfgras mixtures containing Kentucky bluegrass, per. ryegrass, colonial bentgrass & other fine fescues.
