Pencross Bentgrass is considered by many to be the most beautiful of grasses with a tight, upright growth characteristic and a fine leaf texture. It has a deep blueish-green color, thick density, low growing habit and is considered a luxury cool season grass.
Bentgrasses spread by their long creeping stems, which extend over the surface of the soil. The joints (nodes) of these stems take root very easily, to form the thick, velvety turf for which Bentgrass is famous. It blends perfectly with Princess 77 Couch to provide a pristine, manicured golf course type lawn.
Penncross Bentgrass suits temperate Australian climates including Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales. It is not recommended in the far northern areas of Australia where the weather is consistently around 35 degrees. Unfortunately at these temperatures the roots cannot sustain the heat and die off.
