Selecting the right grass variety is always a challenge. Home lawns and many commercial construction sites have poor soils and difficult growing conditions. While bermudagrass and zoysia certainly do well in many environments, centipede turf offers many additional advantages. It is a slow growing, medium-to-coarse warm season perennial grass which produces a very dense, attractive, weed-free turf.

Compared to other grasses, centipede requires less care, less mowing and less fertilizer, and it's generally resistant to most insects and diseases. Centipede is also more shade tolerant than bermudagrass, and since it produces only surface runners, is more easily controlled around flower beds and walkways. The fact is, most of the common centipedes have very poor rooting characteristics, which makes them less than ideal for difficult sites and colder climates.

Certified TifBlair was bred to overcome these problems. As research from Georgia to Oklahoma has shown, it's exceptionally cold tolerant, has impressive fall color retention, and develops a deep root system even in poor growing conditions. Additionally, as the one and only certified centipede, TifBlair can only be sold by a licensed grower. Common centipede varies from field to field, but every load of TifBlair seed or sod will have the same high quality and pedigree. So specify TifBlair centipede for your next project. TifBlair makes a beautiful, low-maintenance turf, ideal for home lawns, public parks and commercial landscaping.
