Festuca rubra litoralis

Shoreline

Shoreline

Shoreline (SRX 55R and SRX 55QR) slender creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra var. rubra) is a unique fine fescue that combines salt tolerance and Rapid Blight resistance, with the density of slender creeping red fescues. Shoreline has increased heat tolerance when compared to older slender creeping red fescues, enabling it to be used in all areas where fine fescues are adapted. Shoreline is an extremely versatile fine fescue that can be used in a broad range of turf sites, from golf greens for links courses to fairways and low maintenance non-mown roughs and roadsides. Shoreline has a darker green color, short rhizomes for repair and dense turf with winter-active growth. Shoreline is endophyte-enhanced for increased resistance to many insects and improved stress tolerance.
