Seville is a dwarf variety that was developed for shorter stems and therefore a finer texture with the smaller blades, chinch bug infestation and SAD resistance. It is another one that is not cold hardy. Jade was developed along with Seville for the same properties of dwarfness, SAD and chinch bug resistance properties. Raleigh came from North Carolina and was developed to withstand the cooler temperatures, finer textured , SAD resistance and more shade tolerant. It forms a dense, thick coverage.
Common varieties are still the only ones grown in the Texas areas.
The main common variety has developed natural adaptations on its own all over the state. It is unknown when seed will be available due to production problems in growing these seeds. All rights reserved.
