Festulolium
Due to worldwide seed shortages some seed mixtures and items have been modified or are unavailable in 2022.
Festulolium is a cross between Italian or Perennial Ryegrass and Tall or Meadow Fescue. By crossing the fescue and ryegrass, they are attempting to breed the fescue’s winter-hardiness and drought tolerance while keeping the palatability of the ryegrass.
