Quick Facts

CORGI is an exceptional new tall fescue variety. It has the lowest plant height of any commercial variety ever measured at DLF International Seeds' Research station. Corgi's unique growth habit give it high turf density, fine leaf texture and reduced growth. Unlike many other dwarf tall fescues, Corgi has the ability to perform in areas where brown patch and other diseases are prevalent. Corgi is also endophyte enhanced for added stress tolerance and persistence.

 

Corgi produces an attractive turf in both full sun and shaded areas. It is recommended for use on home lawns, sports fields, parks, golf course out-of-bounds areas and commercial sites. Corgi can be used alone or in mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass or other tall fescues. Corgi can be utilized in dry temperate climates such as southern CA and the hot humid regions of the Midwest and eastern USA. Because of its dense tillering, low growth and fine leaves, Corgi is a top choice for sod producers.
