£95.00

COLD START 100 Turf Perennial Ryegrass mixture

• 100% Winter-active grass seed mix, that is specially developed for use at low soil temperature
• Germinates and grows in soil temperatures down to at least 5 degrees (other Perennial Ryegrasses require 8-12 degrees)
• Suitable for sowings 11-12 months a year (if soil temperature is 5 degrees +)
• Rapid to germinate and establish (even in cold conditions), extremely fast growing, high wear tolerance, drought tolerant, great all year-round colour and has a high resistance to disease.
• A perennial mix that will last forever unlike some competitor mixtures including annual ryegrass
• Fine leaved grasses unlike tetraploids and annual ryegrasses 
• High endophyte level. The benefits of this are; stronger root growth, quicker establishment, resistant to insect attack, a bird deterrent and an overall stronger plant.
• Ideal for Autumn or Early spring renovations. Suitable for all heavy wear sports and hardwearing lawn/landscaping areas
• Colosseum was bred from the few surviving plants out of a test cricket pitch and temperatures down to -15 degrees. The surviving plants were crossed and resulted in a cultivar capable of withstanding extreme adverse conditions. It is used in many New Zealand stadiums including Wellington Park (Westpac Stadium)
• Ceretec Centurion is the sister variety of Colosseum with all the same traits including being winter active. Slightly darker in colour all year round (mid-dark green).
