Combines very fine leaves with high wear tolerance

No other variety shows so fine leaves combined with such outstanding wear tolerance.

Medium green colour

The majority of recent tall fescue varieties are dark to very dark leaved - FILIPPA fills the gap with its intermediate fresh green colour. This colour perfectly fits with a lot of high performing Poa pratensis and Lolium perenne varieties. The general impression in winter is simply amazing.

Excellent disease resistance

FILIPPA has good resistance to or tolerates most commun diseases as red thread, rusts, leafspot - and we observe a particularly good resistance to Fusarium blight.
