Aurora Gold Hard Fescue Benefits

Aurora Gold Hard Fescue Mowed
  • Weed-free turf with low rates of glyphosate application
  • Extremely low maintenance
  • Good drought tolerance in low maintenance fine fescue trials
  • Good summer performance
  • Good resistance to dollar spot, leaf spot, and red thread
  • Excellent shade performance

Aurora Gold can be used as a low maintenance home lawn when mowed. It may also be used in un-mowed situations like slopes and naturalized areas as well as areas of low maintenance such as roadsides. Aurora Gold may also be planted (at no more than 10% weight of seed mixture) with wildflowers. Use as a cover crop in temperate areas that cool season grasses grow.

Description

Aurora Gold produces a dark green, fine leafed, dense, low-growing turf of excellent quality. Aurora Gold excels where mowing, water, and fertilization requirements are low or non-existent.

Aurora Gold Hard Fescue Grass Has Many UsesResults of Glyphosate Application on Aurora Gold

Aurora Gold is an excellent choice for golf course extreme roughs, highway shoulders, parks, and expansive areas that would otherwise be costly to maintain and where traffic is not a factor. Aurora Gold can be used as a low maintenance home lawn when mowed. It may also be used in un-mowed situations like slopes and naturalized areas as well as areas of low maintenance such as roadsides. Aurora Gold may also be planted (at no more than 10% weight of seed mixture) with wildflowers. Use as a cover crop in temperate areas that cool season grasses grow.

Aurora Gold should be used as a mono-stand to take advantage of its glyphosate tolerance. In Oregon trials, all known weeds were removed with low rates of glyphosate. The turf will tolerate I pt./ac. rate, but 4 oz. is adequate to control Poa annua and most weeds.*

* Users of this variety must be in contact with Turf-Seed, and follow chemical application directions exactly.

Growth Height - Planting in Nursery Situations

Un-mown Hard Fescue Grass Aurora Gold With the use of glyphosate (weed control and pgr activity), the typical low growth habit of the hard fescues such as Aurora, and the limited water going on a tree plantation, It would be surprising to see it go much over a foot. I'd think that one or two mowings per year would take care of things. In seed production fields, the hard fescues are rarely more than 'knee high'. In our vineyard trials in California it's only about 6" tall.

Other than the hard fescues, I don't know of much else that fits the need so well. The ability to withstand the use of glyphosate really makes this an ideal grass for Christmas tree production. It greatly simplifies weed control and makes a great ground cover between rows in vineyards and in field tree plantations.

Establishment of Aurora Gold Hard Fescue Grass

Aurora Gold performs well in a wide range of soils where light irrigation is available. It will withstand moderate drought conditions. Ideal soil pH is from 5.5 to 7.0.

For low maintenance, 2 to 3 lbs. actual N per 1,000 sq. ft. per year is ample, 3 to 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. for high maintenance.

Early fall and spring are ideal times to plant. After seeding, germination will take place in about 10 to 15 days, depending on soil temperatures, and first mowing can be expected in about 30 days.

Seeding Rates:

Home lawns 6 to 10 lbs./ 1,000 sq. ft.
Parks, golf course extreme roughs 250 lbs./acre
Parks, sod farms, industrial campuses 200 lbs./acre
Golf course roughs 250 lbs./acre
