DESANTO
Deschampsia caespitosa
This variety thrives in the shade
Profile
DESANTO is a high-quality tufted hair-grass variety. It is a variety with great potential that is not widely used in lawns, making it your USP in the turf mix. Based on many years of trials, we recommend red fescue and sheep's fescue as mix partners for shade-tolerant tufted hairgrass mixtures. Alternatively, a combination with tall fescue and Deschampsia also produces excellent results. DESANTO's medium green colour allows for a wide range of possible combinations in the mixing area.
