Mystique

Description

Mystique (DLFPS-236/3547) Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) demonstrates superior turf quality across all locations of the 2016 Perennial Ryegrass NTEP. It has shown excellent resistance to Gray Leaf Spot, Red Thread, Stem Rust, Crown Rust and Pink Snow Mold. Mystique requires less inputs making it appropriate for many uses. Mystique is also wear tolerant at all cutting heights, with rapid recovery from tillers and stolons. Its dark green color and early spring greenup also make it excellent for overseeding bermudagrass. Mystique can be used for all turfgrass projects, from golf course tees and fairways to home landscapes. The excellent traffic tolerance makes it superior for use on sports fields and parks. It survives drought and salts, so is suitable for use on low maintenance sites or planting sites with poor water quality. Perfect for winter overseeding on dormant bermudagrass, Mystique exhibits superior winter color as well as great turf quality.
