Quick Facts

SAVORY tall fescue is a soft-leaf tall fescue variety with excellent quality forage, high yields and very good persistence. Compared to other forage tall fescues, Savory has demonstrated superior palatability and is endophyte-free. Savory produces narrow leaves which make thicker stands that are highly tolerant to grazing. Broad adaptability and resistance to major diseases makes Savory an excellent forage choice.

 

SAVORY is well suited to situations where high forage dry matter production and persistence are the main objectives. Savory grows well in a range of soil conditions. It can be used for hay production or grazing in both the northern and southern parts of the United States.
