Predator Hard Fescue

Predator is an endophyte-enhanced turfgrass that requires less irrigation frequency than bluegrass, ryegrass and other fine fescues. 

Characteristics:
  • Moderately dark green variety with reduced vertical growth rate
  • Endophyte enhanced for increased disease and wear tolerance
  • Improved resistance to Brown Patch, Dollar Spot and Leaf Spot
  • Excellent resistance to Chinch Bugs and Aphids
  • Good performance under low fertility and persistence under drought conditions
  • Mixes well with other tall fescues and bluegrasses for sod production

    • Recommended Use: Golf Courses (outer), Parks, Athletic Fields, and Home Lawns
