Colosseum is a medium-fine, mid-green, perennial ryegrass that is a cross between Mediterranean and American genetics. The Mediterranean genetics gives the turf active winter growth in cooler weather and rapid germination, especially in cold temperatures down to 5°C.
Colosseum establishes quickly, helping to create turf cover sooner when conditions are cool. Its ability to germinate at temperatures as low as 5°C makes it particularly useful where establishment or repair is required outside the warmer growing months.
Its combination of Mediterranean and American genetics provides a balance of winter activity, turf quality and durability. Colosseum has good wear resistance and recovery, making it well suited to turf areas that need to maintain their appearance while coping with regular use.
Once established, Colosseum produces an attractive medium-fine turf with a glossy, mid-green colour. Its combination of year-round performance, appearance and recovery makes it a versatile perennial ryegrass option for a range of turf applications.
