Earth Carpet Guide

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.

SR 4650 Perennial Ryegrass

Grey Leaf Spot resistant, heat, drought and salt tolerant

SR 4650 Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is an attractive, leafy, endophyte-enhanced ryegrass that has the highest level of gray leaf spot resistance of any perennial ryegrass. It has demonstrated high overall performance under various maintenance levels ranging from golf course fairways to residential lawns. Early development of spreading rhizomes gives this variety increased density when used for permanent turf, along with improved wear tolerance and recovery.
