Setting new standards

Dramatic developments in perennial ryegrass cultivars by Top Green have led to their successful use on the golf course. These are used in the Mascot range of grass seed mixes supplied by Rigby Taylor.

Elan is a NEW cultivar, which, in combination with fescues, can be used to create a dense hard-wearing sward - a vital requirement for walk-on walk-off areas.

The low crown on Elan enables it to grow well with fescue and bent on fairway and semi-rough.
