Quick Facts

QUATRO is an extremely fine bladed bunch grass that produces an exceptionally dense sward and a distinct deep dark green colored turf. Quatro is the first commercial tetraploid sheep fescue available in the US. It provides durable, attractive turf under a range of mowing heights, soil conditions and growing environments. It establishes rapidly from seed, yet it's one of the slowest growing grasses commercially available. Quatro also exhibits excellent drought and heat tolerance. It was bred for low maintenance turf areas. Quatro is an award winning sheep fescue that will give a top performance every time.
