HENRY DEVELOPMENT

Henry Hard Fescue was developed over a 10 year period by a repetitive process of mass selection, using all elite parental clones. These clones exhibited excellent vigor, persistence, disease resistance, and overall performance. This hard fescue variety is an aggressive grower, and the establishement of turf mixes are greatly enhanced by its addition. Henry has a medium- dark green color, equal to Warwick & Aurora, both highly respected varieties. Henry’s turf density is equal to the 10 best hard fescue varieties. The early spring green-up is outstanding, with rapid early season turf growth. This variety of hard fescue was bred for toughness, and low maintenance turf requirements. Henry has strong resistance to major hard fescue diseases such as leaf spots and blotches, powdery mildew, red thread, dollar spot, and stem rust. It can be relied on to provide years of high quality, disease free, and low maintenance turf.
