Candidame

Candidame Turf-Type Annual Ryegrass (IS-TAR 12) expresses true annual characteristics with the look of a perennial, dark green, high tiller density, and fine leaves. Candidame is perfect for overseeding dormant bermudagrass and seeding new areas where a temporary, attractive turf is desired. Designed for winter overseeding dormant bermudagrass, Candidame is perfect for use in golf courses, parks, and sports venues typically overseeded. Winter overseeding extends use and aesthetics, and in the spring, it will naturally transition out, allowing the original turf to regrow without being inhibited by persistent grasses. Candidame provides quick cover for turf and/or soil stabilization. It has improved germination with cold temperatures or salts making it ideal for hard site
