ARCHIBAL
Festuca trichophylla
- Good visual merit
- Nice summer appearance
- Good desiase resistance
- First choice for blends and mixtures
Preceptibel by mind's eye
Stable and good visual merit if cut very short as close mown turf or kept a bit longer as a normal lawn.
High disease resistance
Really close mown ARCHIBAL shows a very healthy consistence as it has a high resistance against Red thread.
Wanted for mixtures
Not a top performer in terms of shoot density used as lawn variety but if considert as close mown variety ARCHIBAL shows nice and good density. If used in a blend or mixture ARCHIBAL is a fair partner and leaves some room for a companion to create a nice homogeny turf. That makes this variety a favorable mixing partner.
