Defiance XRE Turf Tall Fescue Seed Mixture
Defiance XRE is a Tall Fescue Seed Blend featuring Tall Fescue Grass variety Grande II. Grande II is the only tall fescue variety with rhizomes to be granted Plant Variety Protection (PVP) certification. The high incidence of rhizomes in Grande, combined with other improved tall fescue varieties, gives Defiance XRE faster recovery from injury, superior wear resistance and better ability to recover from stress than other tall fescue mixtures.
In addition to rhizomes, Defiance XRE also has very high levels of endophytes, which give it a natural resistance to many surface feeding insects, drought conditions and other stress factors. Whether you’re growing grass for commercial landscape, sports fields, parks, golf roughs, or residential lawns, Defiance XRE with rhizomes is the key a to robust, beautiful turf.
The value of Rhizomes are that they give plants the ability to spread densely (tightly) throughout the lawn area and provide strong knitting ability, enabling easier sod lifting. Rhizomes in a Tall Fescue give what is normally a "clump" grass some spreading ability (repair ability). This allows for an increase in possible repair ability over time to replace close-by plants that may have been damaged by sport activities or by weather or other site issues.
