☑ Greens ☑ Tees ☑ Fairways ☑ Roughs ☑ Bowling Greens

• 100% slender creeping red fescue blend
• Germination and survival in salt areas
• New for 2025: Barnoustie and Barquess - the latest varieties from our European breeding programme 

USAGE

• Overseeding and construction of free-draining medium-fine turf areas exposed to saline conditions. 

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• The name SHORELINE is derived from the Latin litoralis, the species name for slender creepers. The mix contains three top-10 ranked varieties in Turfgrass Seed G3: Barnoustie, Barquess and Viktorka.
• Providing a superior salt tolerance for fescue dominant turf on links and seaside golf courses exposed to salt spray and salt-laden winds, it is suitable for the construction and overseeding of all areas of free-draining turf exposed to salt.
• Salt tolerance is a complex issue. Most salt stress issues experienced on golf courses throughout the UK and Ireland are caused by salt spray or salt laden winds. Problems associated with high salinity soils are much more complex, and more difficult to manage due to the ability of varying soil particles to attract salt under differing environmental conditions.
• The grass plant’s response to salt stress can vary significantly during its life cycle. The plant’s capabilities at different stages, from germination to established sward must therefore be tested to realise any practical solutions for a dedicated grass seed mix.
• Testing on established grass plants has been carried out in two distinct environments; in a glasshouse grown in rootzone and secondly in field trial sites in native soils and imported rootzones from locations naturally exposed to salt stress. Slender creeping red fescue generally demonstrates superior salt tolerance in comparison with Chewings fescues. (See pictures below).
