Festuca "Compact" is a perennial grass species from the Poaceae family that roots quickly and forms a dense, lush carpet. Thanks to its good winter hardiness and wear resistance, it is perfect for lawns on stadiums, sports fields, and park areas. High disease resistance makes it a preferred choice even in hot and arid climatic conditions.
The variety is characterized by slow growth but quickly achieves a dense surface with proper care. To achieve optimal density, it is recommended to sow seeds at a high density and ensure regular watering, especially in the first few weeks after sowing. After rooting, Festuca "Compact" forms a strong root system, which ensures the longevity of the lawn – the plant can grow in one place for 15–20 years.
Care for a lawn of this variety is simple: regular mowing at a height of 4–5 cm and maintaining moderate moisture. Festuca "Compact" can be used either pure or in combination with other lawn grasses (for example, perennial ryegrass or red fescue). It grows on almost any soil but performs best on fertile soils with moderate moisture. Thanks to its drought and frost resistance, this variety ensures a reliable cover even during unfavorable periods of the year.
