Description

With Overall Turf Quality as solid as the "rock" it is named after, Matterhorn is the first choice when it comes to any low maintenance grass requirement. Matterhorn is dense to help crowd out weeds, fine bladed; with research supported drought tolerance and color fade resistance. Matterhorn can be used in the most extreme conditions including cold temperatures, shaded areas, hard to mow areas, slopes, roadsides, golf course roughs, reclamation areas, vineyards and orchards. Choose Matterhorn when looking for a beautiful, tough grass with survivability plus blends well with other grass species.

Matterhorn can be used as a mono-stand in areas where attractive turf is desired, but low-maintenance (nominal watering, little or no fertilizer, and infrequent moisture) is needed. Such areas may include hard to mow sites, slopes, creek banks, roadsides, golf course roughs, and non-irrigated fairways. Other uses include reclamation sites, vineyards and orchards.

Matterhorn is primarily recommended as a component in mixtures that would likely include Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and other fine fescues.
