Fast establishment = fast ground cover = preserving playing quality
Visual appearance is important, but the role of Quickston is above all to secure a quick establishment in difficult situations and then disappear !
The perfect nurse crop
The low percent of Quicston that we recommend for mixtures is due to the fact that it's role is producing a quick ground cover but also allowing safe and fast establishment of the perennial species in the mixture.
Quickston has a darker green colour than previous generations
This is sometimes an advantage for a more homogeneous appearance.
Finer leaves
The leaf texture is finer and again an advantage in terms of visual appearance.
