SEEDS & SCIENCE

Fayette

Description

Fayette turf-type tall fescue (IS-TF-153) is known for its resistance to Stem Rust and Net Blotch as well as being tolerant to summer drought. When other varieties go dormant from heat or drought stress, Fayette maintains its summer color and turf quality. In areas of high traffic requiring low maintenance, Fayette aggressive tillering action creates a resilient turf, effectively maintaining a superior grass surface in less than optimum conditions. Fayette is first class choice for home lawns, parks and playing fields.
