Festuca rubra rubra
Ruddy
Ruddy Strong Creeping Red Fescue (PSG 5RM) (Festuca rubra ssp. rubra) is a new generation of red fescue developed for exceptional wear tolerance at all mowing heights. This makes it suitable for home lawns, fairways, roughs, and parks. Ruddy demonstrates high turf quality under all maintenance conditions and a broad range of climates. With excellent shade tolerance Ruddy can be used from full sun to deep shade, and in low maintenance or high maintenance sites. It has superior winter hardiness and stress tolerance for performance from the transition zone to the far north. Ruddy demonstrates high resistance to Dollar Spot, Red Thread, and Leaf Spot. It has high levels of endophyte for resistance to surface feeding insects and improved stress tolerance. Ruddy is excellent for blending with other fine fescues, Kentucky bluegrasses, and perennial ryegrass. It can also be used in mixed warm season/cool season turf blends blending with bermudagrass or buffalograss.
