The search for an improved variety of centipede has been underway for many years. Recently, however, Dr. Wayne Hanna at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia, released TifBlair™ centipede. TifBlair™ has proven to be an improved centipede variety not only in research trials but in landscapes from the transition zone south for several years.

TifBlair Centipede Grass provides the following:

Faster germination and much quicker coverage Excellent winter tolerance in the middle to lower South Low maintenance requirements Super Wrapped for easier spreading Low fertility requirements Drought tolerant and fast recovery from lack of water Needs less mowing and easier to mow The most Environmentally Friendly warm season grass

In addition to improved performance characteristics, TifBlair™ is also the first certified centipedegrass ever.

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.

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.
