To create a new lawn or turf area
This is Premier Pacific Seeds most popular grass mix and is ideal for both full sun and part shade conditions. It contains a mixture of high-performing ryegrass and fescue species. This mix is generally not recommended for overseeding because the fescue species are slower to germinate and will not compete well with mature grass plants.
Seeding Rate: 3.5 – 4 kg per 100 sq. m. | 7 – 8 lb per 1,000 sq. ft.
Rejuvenation of sports fields and lawns
Use the Ryegrass Overseed blend for overseeding of lawn, new sports fields and fairways, and the repair and rejuvenation of existing turf grass stands. Regular overseeding will thicken turf grass and reduce the encroachment of weeds without the use of herbicides. This blend is comprised of wear-tolerant, quick-germinating perennial ryegrass varieties.
Seeding Rate: 8 – 10 lb per 1000 sq. ft | 4 – 5 kg per 100 sq. m.
Rapid rejuvenation of sports fields and lawns
Quick Ryegrass Overseeding Blend is used for the rapid rejuvenation of sports fields and lawns. It contains Candidame third-generation turf-type annual ryegrass and Replicator-4N tetraploid perennial ryegrass that germinates faster under cooler temperatures compared to typical diploid perennial ryegrasses. The Quick Ryegrass Overseeding mix is an excellent option for early season overseeding or for extremely quick repair of damaged turf areas.
Seeding Rate: 8 – 10 lb per 1000 sq. ft | 4 – 5 kg per 100 sq. m.
For non-irrigated passive areas and areas that will be mowed infrequently
The Premier Low Maintenance mix is a low growing option for areas that will not be fertilized or mowed often. The height of mature grass canopy will generally be below 24 inches. The Low Maintenance mix has high drought tolerance, low fertility requirements making it useful for lawns, ground cover areas, and low angle slopes for erosion control.
Seeding Rate: 4 – 6 lb per 1,000 sq. ft. | 2 – 3 kg per 100 sq. m.
To combat chafer grub infestation for new lawn seedings and lawn renovations
Chafer Resistant Mix is formulated for new lawn seedings to combat the chafer grub infestation. The mix utilizes deep-rooted, high endophyte turf-type tall fescue and Microclover® to help resist turf damage and has superb drought tolerance. Microclover® provides nitrogen fixation and drought tolerance which means that this mix requires less fertilizer and longer periods between irrigation.

To combat chafer grub infestation and drought

Microclover® Brand White Clover (Coated)
Microclover® brand white clover was developed for use in lawns. It grows in wet and shade conditions, provides nitrogen fixation and drought tolerance, which requires less fertilizer and longer periods between irrigation. To maintain its microstructure, Microclover® must be regularly mowed or it will grow to 6-7 inches tall.
For mixtures, it is well-suited to fine-leaved, dense, high quality perennial ryegrasses. In dry areas or to combat chafer grub infestation, turf-type tall fescue is an optimal choice. Slender creeping red fescue and chewings fescue are also good partners where they find equilibrium with the Microclover®.
