Palladio outperforms other varieties in terms of homogeneity of sward, high ornamental value and extremely high drought tolerance. Palladio maintains its colour in summer despite heat and drought and is not susceptible to brown patch.

Tall fescue is a deep rooting and drought tolerant specie growing well in both dry and humid conditions. Tall fescue is able to survive medium harsh winters and starts growing early after winter, thanks to its efficient storage of carbon hydrates in the extensive root system.
