Why choose Wintergreen Grass:
An important note when considering Wintergreen is that this variety requires a minimum of 80% sunlight for best growth. If you’re searching for turf for a shaded area, consider our Palmetto variety instead.
In order to ensure your wintergreen grass grows optimally, it is recommended to use a Bentonite Clay additive. This natural additive will provide long-term benefits for the grass which will cut down the amount of lawn maintenance you need to do.
