Turf Genius® Self Repairing TF 

Titan Ultra Tall Fescue contains rhizome roots which fill in bare spots (repairs itself). This mixture promotes deep-rooting plants with great drought tolerance. Speare Seeds has taken a top self-repairing variety specifically focused on improved performance in colder climates.  Our variety is well known and valued for providing durable attractive turf, even when conditions are less than ideal.  Our mixture continues that tradition with improved cold weather performance, darker green colour, finer texture, increased disease resistance, and even better self-repairing ability.

Turf Genius® Self Repairing PR 

Self Repairing Perennial Ryegrass is a creeping perennial ryegrass that is more resilient and weather tolerant than traditional perennial ryegrass.  Speare Seeds regenerating ability is what separates itself from traditional mixtures.  We have chosen a variety designed for the Canadian colder climate and one that contains pseudo-stolons for a regenerating, self-repairing and revolutionary mixture.  This mixture will provide grass with deep green colour.  There is a high amount of endophytes in the mixture that will increase disease and insect resistance.
