Four Seasons Stark Ayres Lawn Seeds -500g

Four Seasons grass" refers to various commercial grass seed blends designed to stay green and thrive throughout the year by combining warm-season and cool-season grasses. A prominent example is the Starke Ayres Four Seasons blend, which includes Bermuda grass for summer and perennial rye, Kentucky bluegrass, and tall fescue for winter, offering year-round growth in a single lawn. Other "Four Seasons" products exist, such as the A1 Lawn 4 Seasons Pro, a cool-germinating mix for specific conditions, and HM. Four Seasons grass seed, a cold-growing mixture. 

How Four Seasons Grass Works

Hybrid Approach:

The core idea is to use a blend of grasses, some of which perform best in warm weather and others in cooler weather, ensuring that one type is always actively growing while the other is dormant. 

Warm-Season Grasses:

These thrive in summer heat and go dormant (turn brown) in winter. Bermuda grass is a common warm-season component. 

Cool-Season Grasses:

These flourish in cooler temperatures and can maintain green growth through winter. Perennial rye, Kentucky bluegrass, and tall fescue are examples of cool-season grasses included in these blends. 

Benefits of Four Seasons Grass

Year-Round Greenness:

The primary benefit is a consistently green and lush lawn throughout the year. 

Heat and Cold Tolerance:

The blended grasses are selected for their ability to withstand both hot summers and cold winters. 

Low Water Needs:

Some blends, like the Starke Ayres Four Seasons, are designed to require significantly less water than traditional cool-season grasses. 

Traffic Tolerance:

Many mixes are engineered to be hardy and withstand high levels of foot traffic. 

Disease Resistance:

Certain blends include high endophyte levels for enhanced root strength and resistance to common turf diseases.
