Sowing rate 20-30g/m2 Sowing depth rootzone contact Oversowing rate 10-20g/m2 Mowing height down to 4mm Usage Construction of free-draining fine-turf areas. Features & Benefits Red fescue contributes to 80% of the mixture and is made up of both slender creeping red fescue and Chewings red fescue. The combination of these two sub-species offers the best solution for year-round performance and growth in fescue-dominant turf. Includes the highly rated Chewings red fescues, Bodega and Barlineus, and slender creeping red fescues, Barnoustie and Barquess which are both new additions for 2025. These are combined with the #3 rated available browntop bentgrass on the market, Charles, with a mean score of 7.6 in Table G1 of Turfgrass Seed 2025, andBarKingwith exceptional MicrodochiumPatch disease (Fusarium) tolerance and superior winter colour. Chewings fescues will generally be most active in spring through to mid-summer, whereas slender creepers “kick-in” during early summer and perform to autumn.

Usage Designed for the construction and overseeding of golf and bowling greens. Features & Benefits A 100% browntop bentgrass blend designed for overseeding and species exchange in greens. It is of particular interest to golf courses focussed on outcompetingPoa annuaand improvingMicrodochium (Fusarium) tolerance of greens. New for 2025 is the inclusion of Howden, the #2 ranked variety alongsideCharles the #3 ranked browntop bentgrass. Their scores for visual merit and shoot density promise to have a major impact as part of a species exchange programme, improving golf greens and out-competing the ubiquitous Poa annua. BarKingis a European-bred variety with exceptional tolerance to MicrodochiumPatch disease (Fusarium) and superior winter colour. Recent data from the USGA suggests browntop (colonial) bentgrass is superior to creeping bentgrass in performance under low light or shade conditions (see Fig. 1). This correlates with 7-8 weeks of additional optimal light conditions for browntop in the UK, compared to creeping bentgrass.
