Wicked Tuff Turf Bentgrass Seed

Grow the finest turf in the world — the ultra-fine, close-mow grass behind golf-course putting greens and bowling greens.

Bentgrass (Agrostis spp.) is a cool-season perennial — it grows in the cooler parts of the year and, with proper management, persists indefinitely. This blend includes three species: Creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera), Colonial Bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris), and Highland Bent (Agrostis castellana) — the latter two also known as Browntop and Fiorin. Bentgrass produces the finest-bladed, smoothest, densest turf available. Creeping Bentgrass is stoloniferous — it spreads by stolons (aboveground runners) — building the seamless, uniform carpet that golf greens demand, and it tolerates mowing as low as 0.100 inches. Colonial and Highland Bent are lower-maintenance options for fairways, tees, and fine lawns. All thrive in cool, humid climates with consistent moisture. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.

Know Before You Grow — Maintenance & Surface-Sowing

Two things are essential. First, surface-sow: Bentgrass is a light-dependent germinator, so broadcast it on the surface and do not bury the seed. Second, be realistic about maintenance. Putting-green-quality Creeping Bentgrass is a high-maintenance, hungry grass — it needs consistent irrigation, frequent close mowing with proper equipment, regular light fertilization, thatch management (core aeration and topdressing), and an active fungicide program, since it is susceptible to dollar spot, brown patch, pythium, and snow mold. If you want fine-turf quality with less intensive care, the Colonial and Highland Bent in this blend are the lower-maintenance route for fairways and fine lawns. This is a specialty fine-turf grass, not a low-input, walk-away lawn.
