Hillary Fescue
Estimated Delivery between April 28 and April 30.
Hillary Fescue is a deep-rooted perennial fescue grass cultivar developed for New Zealand conditions. It establishes more slowly than many ryegrasses, but once its root system is established it performs particularly well in summer-dry environments and under grazing pressure.
| Persistence | 5+ Years |
|---|---|
| endophyte | Nil |
| Sowing rate |
10-20kg per hectare in a mix |
| heading date | Early |
| Best used for | Grazing, Hay, Silage |
- Offers reliable pasture performance in areas where other grasses may struggle during summer dryness.
- Provides quality feed rather than just bulk, which supports more efficient animal grazing and utilisation.
- Adds longevity and resilience to a pasture mix, reducing the risk of bare ground under drought or summer stress.
- Its compatibility with legumes and herbs helps build a diverse, balanced sward rather than a single-species stand.
