They Say This Is the BEST Grass Ever... I Tested It. Now We Find Out Who Wins

I’m putting some of the best perennial ryegrass cultivars on the market to the test! In this video, I break down the perennial ryegrass cultivars I chose for my long-term turf plots and why each one made the cut. These are cultivars that have caught my attention through NTEP performance, color, turf quality, disease resistance, genetics, and overall reputation. But instead of just looking at numbers on a chart, I wanted to see how they actually perform in MY lawn, under MY conditions here in Northern Illinois. These plots are going to be a long-term experiment where I’ll compare things like: 🌱 Turf quality 🌑 Color and darkness ☀️ Sun and heat tolerance 🌳 Shade performance 🍄 Disease resistance ✂️ Mowing quality 📈 Establishment and recovery 🏆 Overall appearance and performance There are a lot of great perennial ryegrass cultivars available right now, and these are some of the ones I believe have the potential to be among the best. Over the coming months and years, I’ll continue updating these plots so we can see which cultivars rise to the top — and ultimately which one earns a spot in my lawn. Subscribe to Seed2Stripes if you want to follow the entire experiment from seed to stripes! 👇 Let me know in the comments which cultivar you think is going to come out on top! #PerennialRyegrass #LawnCare #GrassSeed #NTEP #Seed2Stripes
