MM29 Grass Seed

The high proportion of Perennial Rye-grass in this seed mixture ensures fast germination and a sward which is hard wearing. The fescue and bent cultivars in the mix complement this, resulting in a fine and dense sward which is able to be cut cleanly and recovers well following damage.
