The Certified Centipede Grass Seed

For more than 50 years Patten Seed Company has produced and marketed high quality Centipede seed under the Centi-Seed ® trademark.  Millions of lawns have been established from southern Virginia through east Texas with the centipedegrass in Centi-Seed ®.

The search for an improved variety of centipede has been underway for many years.  Recently, however, Dr. Wayne Hanna at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia, released TifBlair™ centipede.  TifBlair™ has proven to be an improved centipede variety not only in research trials but in landscapes from the transition zone south for several years.  TifBlair™ has proven to be such an improved centipedegrass that it has earned the honor of going to the market in our branded Centi-Bag as the first variety change since Centi-Seed® was marketed in 1954.

Tif♦Blair™ provides the following:

• Faster germination and much quicker coverage


• Excellent winter tolerance in the middle to lower South


• Low maintenance requirements


• Super Wrapped for easier spreading


• Low fertility requirements


• Drought tolerant and fast recovery from lack of water


• Needs less mowing and easier to mow


• The most Environmentally Friendly warm season grass
