Centipedegrass TifBlair
This is a product page for 120 plants.

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

We plant them on rice paddy levees at intervals 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.
(For those who find this troublesome, TifBlair will gradually outcompete weeds even if you just mow.)
With occasional weeding, it will grow in beautifully within 3 years.
For us, maintenance of rice paddy levees has been reduced to twice-yearly mowing! (Using a Spider Mower)
In winter, the leaves turn reddish-brown as they die back.
New shoots emerge in spring and it becomes lush green by summer.

[Optimal Planting Period]
Late May to late August

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

● Height: 10-25 cm. Stolons grow rapidly, and internodes are dense, forming a compact lawn.
● Strong cold tolerance; there are documented cases in the US of it withstanding temperatures as low as -23.5°C (common varieties may not survive below -10°C).
● Thick, deep roots firmly anchor soil on levees and slopes.
● Earlier spring germination than common varieties, with dense stolons that maintain greenness until late autumn. This effectively suppresses weed growth.
● Excellent persistence; 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 on reclaimed coastal land.
