Description
Quatro Sheep Fescue is an extremely fine bladed bunchgrass that produces an
exceptionally dense deep dark turf. It provides durable,
attractive turf under a range of mowing heights, soil
conditions and growing environments. Quatro establishes
rapidly from seed, yet is one of the slowest growing
grasses commercially available. Quatro exhibits drought
and heat tolerance and will remain green under drought
stress-induced dormancy.
Quatro was bred specifically for improved shade
tolerance, low mowing heights and reduced maintenance
conditions. It is best adapted in northern regions of the
temperate cool season zones where heat and humidity
related diseases are minimal. It can be successfully
utilized in full sun or shade, in parks, playgrounds, golf
course tees, fairways and roughs. It is compatible in
turfgras mixtures containing Kentucky bluegrass, per.
ryegrass, colonial bentgrass & other fine fescues.
