Predator is an endophyte enhanced turf grass that
requires less irrigation frequency than bluegrass, ryegrass and
other fine fescues. Predator hard fescue grass is shade tolerant and is ideal for home
lawns, parks, and high traffic applications. It exhibits good wear
tolerance and resists hard use on athletic fields, and parks.
Predator hard fescue is highlighted by its dark green color and moderately fine
leaf texture. It has an early spring green-up and holds its color
late into the fall. Predator also exhibits frost tolerance and
winter hardiness, enabling its use into the northern states.
Predator has performed well under low to moderate fertility, but
performs better under high fertility levels associated with the
maintenance of extensively used athletic fields and showcase lawns.
