STARLETT
Festuca arundinacea
- Improved fineness of leaves
- Very high wear tolerance
- Highly adapted in mixtures
- Very rust resistant
Adaptation in Mixtures
Hardly two summers are identical. Sometimes the drought is prolonged and the growth of tall fescue favoured. On the other hand humid conditions will favour species like perennial ryegrass.
Such alternating conditions...
...can lead to a heterogeneous turf aspect. In our private trials we have remarked the ability of STARLETT to maintain the mixture balance.
>= 30% in mixtures
For STARLETT as for other tall fescue varieties we recommend at least 30% (weight) in the seed mixture to ensure a good start facing the more aggressive ryegrass. The perfect partner for tall fescue is Poa pratensis.
Very Rust Resistant
STARLETT is highly disease resistant, in particular towards rusts.
