Hurrell’s Seeds has introduced their all year round ‘winter active’ grass seed mixture Coldstart 100 that grows in very chilly soil temperatures never seen before in the UK.
Why is Coldstart 100 different to any other grass seed mixture?
Coldstart contains 2 dwarf perennial ryegrasses from New Zealand including the STRI listed Ceretec Centurion that are both ‘winter active’’, fine leafed and hard wearing ryegrasses that significantly grow in soil temperatures as low as five degrees Celsius (other ryegrasses require at least 10-12 degrees Celsius).
Both cultivars are tried and tested at stadium level in the UK and are significantly finer and better quality than any tetraploid variety.
This extra growth from Coldstart can improve winter renovations due to this winter activity enabling extra weeks of growth if not months of growth.
Nick Gladstone, Hurrell’s Seeds, Managing Director said: “This mix is proven to grow in extremely low soil temperatures when other cultivars/mixes will not grow.
"Recently only temporary Rescue grass mixes has achieved this growth, now we have a mix as high quality as the better turf perennial STRI listed cultivars now capable of low temp growth’’
