Speed Germ is a specialist ryegrass blend designed for use in renovations at lower temperatures. Contains 100% diploid perennial ryegrass varieties chosen for their quick establishment in sub-optimal conditions
Why diploid perennial ryegrass? We consider diploid ryegrasses to be the best choice for effective establishment. Whilst tetraploid or annual ryegrasses may seem at first glance, a great option, there are two characteristics that are not so favourable for the production of good quality sports surfaces. Tetraploids are more susceptible to wear as well as containing up to 50% fewer seeds kilo for kilo compared with diploid turf perennial ryegrasses. So, your grass seed bag may look full but the reality is you have to sow extra seed to achieve the same ground cover as a diploid blend. Maybe not such good value after all!
