Based on the commercial success of these blends over the past few years, Pennington decided to target other regions of the country with EnviroBlue and EnviroBermuda, which were developed through turfgrass breeding programs at Rutgers University and Pennington's warm season research center in Maricopa, Arizona. We know that expanding this concept of a grass seed blend to the North with EnviroBlue and to southern coastal areas with EnviroBermuda will generate additional sales for retailers who can advertise and promote this consumer-friendly family of products nationwide. Grass seed blends produce lower and slower growing grass plants - requiring less mowing and generating fewer clippings. Lawns also need less watering and irrigation after establishment.
Blends give homeowners the ingredients for a lush, beautiful lawn - all in one package.
A seed that performs well in one area may not do well in another. A blend combines the strengths of several different grass seed varieties to produce a superior home lawn. EnviroBlue should be planted at a rate of 4-5 lbs. Both blends will be available in 5 lb. and 15 lb. bags. The time-released coating helps protect each seedling from disease and insects and makes the seed less attractive to birds.
