Festuca rubra commutata

SR 5130

SR 5130

SR 5130 strong creeping red fescue is a highly adaptable variety because it thrives in both sun and shade and high or low maintenance. It has demonstrated superior performance in fairway maintenance trials and other trials with low inputs and no irrigation. The endophyte that is naturally present in SR 5250 provides protection against many insects and has been documented to improve disease resistance and stress tolerance. SR 5250 is a superb choice for blending with other fine fescues, bluegrasses or perennial ryegrasses.
