Description
PM27 Ecosward PLUS Grass Seed
The use of a tetraploid perennial rye-grass cultivar in this mix increases establishment speed as well as ability to withstand stressful conditions such as disease, drought cold and wear. The inclusion of microclover improves soil fertility due to its ability to naturally fix nitrogen. The sward produced has an attractive dark green colour and is hard wearing.
