New Grass Varieties Boost Lawn Health and Resilience
Dr. Robert W. Schery of The Better Lawn and Turf Institute highlights disease resistant grasses for lawn durability. He notes newer cultivars offer density at lower mowing heights, better color, and faster seed sprouting, with blending advised to fit regional conditions. Clemson and Rutgers studies cited show Penncross bentgrass and Jamestown fescue retain density at very low cuts, while proper feeding and region-specific choices improve weed control and lawn appearance.
