Jacklin Seed by Barenbrug - Heisman Mix | Certified Grass Seed

Heisman, an elite blend of 85% Kentucky Bluegrass and 15% Perennial Ryegrass, is perfect for individuals seeking a top-notch lawn and landscape appearance. The 15% Perennial Ryegrass ensures rapid germination, while the 85% Kentucky Bluegrass offers robust blades that enhance lawn thickness, gradually outcompeting the Perennial Ryegrass to yield a pure Kentucky Bluegrass lawn and landscape. Jacklin Seed, renowned for its leadership in turfgrass research, breeding, and production, provides the expertise and innovation highly valued by golf courses and sod farms.

Kentucky Bluegrass excels in wear tolerance, vigorous recovery, and broad disease resistance, maintaining high density even in summer. On the other hand, Perennial Ryegrass boasts quick germination, wear resistance, recovery ability, winter hardiness, and adaptability to transition zones.

Heisman is suitable for various applications such as residential lawns, athletic fields, municipal parks, golf course roughs, and high-traffic areas. It is recommended to sow Heisman in spring or fall when temperatures range between 60°F and 80°F, although seeding can be done throughout the growing season based on regional conditions. Optimal germination occurs when soil temperatures consistently exceed 50°F, corresponding to daytime air temperatures of 60°F to 75°F. Fall seeding allows dormant seeds to sprout in spring when soil temperatures hit 50°F.

Perennial Ryegrass typically germinates within 5-7 days, while Kentucky Bluegrass takes 14-21 days to sprout. Grass seed continues to thicken as the growing season progresses. Purchases under 50 lbs will be repackaged in a resealable bag for convenience.
