Specialty Grasses - Intrigue Chewings Fescue

Intrigue Chewings Fescue - Specialty Grasses
INTRIGUE CHEWINGS FESCUE is leading the re-birth of low maintenance grasses for multiple use areas. Chewings Fescues have long been known for their fine leaf texture and to be among the most shade and drought tolerant of the cool season grasses. Chewings Fescues require less frequent mowing than ryegrass, tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass, and perform well in low fertility areas such as golf course roughs. Intrigue is highly endophytic for improved performance under stressful conditions.

This advanced generation synthetic cultivar has maintained the benefits of chewings fescue while making many improvements, resulting in a top ten NTEP performance under sun, shade, and drought! And, Intrigue's Mean Turfgrass Quality Rating was not significantly different than the #1 ranked variety.

Its very dark green color allows mixing with today's generation of dark green perennial ryegrasses and bluegrasses. Intrigue's dark winter color and fast spring greenup are among the best available. Intrigue is extremely well adapted to low maintenance conditions where fertilizer and supplemental irrigation may not be feasible.
