Crown Royal Cocksfoot
Estimated Delivery between April 24 and April 26.
Crown Royal Cocksfoot is a specialist perennial grass known for its excellent persistence, drought tolerance, and suitability in summer-dry or low-fertility pastures. Cocksfoot in general is highly valued in New Zealand farming systems for its ability to maintain ground cover, provide feed during warmer seasons, and resist harsh conditions where other grasses may weaken.

- Extends the productive season of pasture through summer and into early autumn when other grasses may fail.
- Reduces risk of bare ground or rapid decline in dry conditions thanks to deep-rooting and durable sward structure.
- Lowers reliance on high fertility or intensive management because of its tolerance of poorer soils.
- Supports improved pasture longevity - less frequent renovation or reseeding required compared to some other species.
