Centipedegrass Tifblair
This is a product page for 30 plants.

Grown from officially purchased seeds in 200 pots.
(Each cell is 2.4 x 2.4 cm)

We plant it on rice paddy levees at a width of 25-30 cm.
Before planting, we thoroughly remove weeds with herbicide.
After planting, we manually remove weeds for a while and water every 2-3 days.
(If you find this troublesome, simply mowing the grass will gradually allow the Tifblair to outcompete the weeds.)
With occasional weeding, it will grow in beautifully within about 3 years.
For us, levee maintenance for rice paddies has been reduced to twice a year mowing! (Using a Spider Mower)
The leaves turn reddish-brown in winter as they die back.
New shoots emerge in spring and become lush green by summer.

Since it doesn't grow much in winter, it's best to plant it by summer. The official recommended planting period is late May to late August.

In my experience, on slopes, the grass grows about 20% upwards and 80% downwards. Therefore, I plant it higher up on slopes.

~~~~~~

● Height is 10-25 cm. Stolons grow rapidly, forming a dense turf with closely spaced nodes.
● Strong cold tolerance; there are documented cases in the US of it withstanding temperatures as low as -23.5℃ (common varieties cannot survive even around -10℃).
● Thick and deep roots firmly anchor soil on levees and slopes.
● Earlier spring germination than common varieties, with dense stolons and retaining greenness until late autumn. This effectively suppresses weed growth.
● Excellent longevity; once established on levees, it requires almost no mowing for over 10 years.
● Highly adaptable to soil conditions, growing in soil pH from 4.2 to 8.5. Shows very little growth inhibition in reclaimed coastal land.
