Trifecta Perennial Ryegrass Blend — Gray Leaf Spot Resistant 25 lb Bag, Quick Establishment

Trifecta II Gray Leaf Spot Resistant Perennial Ryegrass Blend is a premium, disease-tolerant ryegrass mix formulated for new lawns, athletic fields, golf course turf, and commercial or residential seeding projects.

Built from three proprietary ryegrass varieties selected for strong color, fine texture, and proven gray leaf spot resistance, this 25 lb. bag delivers turf that establishes quickly and stands up to traffic and routine mowing. The mix contains Secretariat II GLSR, Exacta II GLSR, and Charismatic II GLSR, each performing well in NTEP trials; Exacta II GLSR ranks highest for gray leaf spot resistance. Trifecta II is developed with endophytes for improved turf health but is not intended for pasture use.

How fast will Trifecta II germinate and establish?

Expect visible germination in about 7 to 12 days under good soil contact, moisture, and temperature conditions. Full establishment will vary with climate, soil preparation, and aftercare, but early vigor and high-quality varieties speed the process.

• Germinates approximately 7–12 days
• Recommended new lawn rate: 6–8 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
• Overseeding rate: 3–4 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
• Covering estimates: up to 4,165 sq. ft. for new lawns, up to 8,000 sq. ft. for overseeding

What makes this blend resistant to gray leaf spot?

The seed blend combines three GLSR (Gray Leaf Spot Resistant) ryegrass varieties developed and tested for reduced disease susceptibility. Using top-performing genetics helps reduce the incidence and severity of gray leaf spot when paired with good cultural practices.

• Contains Secretariat II GLSR, Exacta II GLSR, Charismatic II GLSR
• Exacta II GLSR rated #1 in NTEP for gray leaf spot resistance
• Endophyte-enhanced varieties for improved turf vigor

Can I use Trifecta II on sports fields, golf courses, or to overseed warm-season grass?

Yes. The blend is formulated for new construction on golf courses and athletic fields, commercial sites, and home lawns, and it’s suitable for overseeding warm-season turf during cooler months. Its mowing tolerance and traffic resilience make it a landscaper favorite for high-use areas.

• Recommended for golf course fairways, athletic fields, and commercial lawns
• Works for overseeding warm-season grasses in cooler seasons
• Favored for color consistency, mowing characteristics, and texture

What installation and aftercare practices improve success with this seed?

Proper soil preparation, even seed distribution, firm seed-to-soil contact, and consistent moisture are the basics for reliable establishment. Use of an approved biodegradable mulch and starter fertilizer will help retain moisture and support young seedlings.

• Pair with a biodegradable mulch plus starter fertilizer for moisture retention
• Keep seeded areas consistently moist until seedlings are established
• Avoid use in livestock pastures due to endophyte enhancement

Who is this for: Trifecta II is designed for turf managers, landscape contractors, golf course superintendents, athletic field crews, and homeowners who want a commercial-grade, disease-tolerant perennial ryegrass for new installs or seasonal overseeding. Choose this blend when rapid germination, superior gray leaf spot resistance, and professional mowing performance are priorities for your project.
