JAY 5 is a variety of red fescue (Chewings fescue) specifically selected for creating dense, resilient lawns and sports fields. Seeds are packaged in 22.68 kg bags and supplied by the manufacturer Jacklin Seed from the USA. It is recommended to use a sowing rate of 3 kg of seeds per 100 m², which ensures optimal coverage without over-sowing.
The plant is characterized by low growth: the turf height ranges from 1 to 1.5 cm, while the leaves are narrow and of medium length. The leaves have a dark green color with an anthocyanic tint, giving the lawn a rich, deep appearance even at midday. The dense turf reaches a density of about 30 g/m², providing resistance to mechanical wear and good rooting.
JAY 5 is distinguished by high drought resistance and moderate climatic conditions, making it an ideal choice for lawns in various regions. The variety is often used as the main crop in mixtures with meadow timothy or Audubon red fescue, where it can constitute up to 75% of the total mixture weight. Thanks to its thin leaves and dense cover, lawns made from this variety have a beautiful texture, good shade tolerance, and frost resistance, but require moderate watering and soil care with good drainage.
Care for the sowing is simple: clear the plot, level it, and loosen the soil, then evenly scatter the seeds, covering them with a thin layer of earth. After sowing, it is necessary to maintain moisture until germination. The variety germinates well on loose soil rich in nutrients, and shows especially good adaptation on clay soil. JAY 5 is a reliable choice for those who value lawn longevity and aesthetic appeal.
