The Science is in the Seed.  Growing lush, green turf with the “wrong” seed is like growing an apple tree from pumpkin seed – no amount of effort will give you the desired result. Earth Carpet® brings a revolutionary approach from years cultivating the right seeds for the right conditions.

Rebounder Tall Fescue

High density, superior wear tolerance, and rapid recovery

Rebounder is adapted for all uses from golf course roughs to parks, sports fields, sod farms and home
lawns. With its high stress resistance it is persistent and has excellent turf quality, with fine leaf texture
and high density for superior overall appearance.

Uses: (Turf-Type) Lawns, athletic fields, commercial, slopes, parks, reclamation. Ideal in sun or shade or limited water.
Growth Habit: Bunch type, tillers, some with Rhizomes
Blade: 2-5 mm., broad, spear

Identification:
Deep rooted, cool season perennial bunchgrass. Grows from tillers. Leaf blades are glossy on the underside/serrated on margins. Leaf blades may be wide with rolled vernation (stem), blades smooth on turf-type, coarse on others.
