FEATURES & BENEFITS

All four Barenbrug-bred cultivars bring advantages and different characteristics to this product.

 

Barzico is an elite variety for medium-fine turf under wear traffic. It is ranked #3 on Table S1 and within the top third on L1 in BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2025. It was #1 ranked in a recent Barenbrug cricket trial at Loughborough University.

 

Barpersie is new for 2025 in EXTREME. A high performing, all round variety. Ranked #10 on Table S1 and #2 in Table L1 in BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2025. This new variety combines exceptional wear tolerance and recovery with fineness of leaf and density.

 

Baradona offers outstanding all-round wear tolerance, shoot density, and aesthetics. With a mean score 7.4 in Tables S1 and L1 of Turfgrass Seed 2025, it is one of the few varieties (with Barpersie) to hold high rankings in both lists.

 

Barsignum is an exceptional ryegrass for summer sports use. It is ranked very highly in both G4 and L1 tables of BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2025.

 

Cricket squares and outfields, tennis courts and high-traffic lawns are perfect examples of where this grass seed mix is at home.


If fineness of leaf or tolerance to very close mowing are the driving factors in product selection, ULTRAFINE 100 is recommended as a possible alternative.
