For Bronze Partner, DSV UK, turf grass breeding is a passion and has been for many years, and their breeders continue to create outstanding high performing cultivars.

A unique facet of DSV varieties is their ability to blend well with each another to form a seamless blend of genetic colour. These varieties and cultivars would work very well in a fairway / tee scenario, and also an excellent choice for hard-to-manage bunkers edges.

To trial any of the below in a monocrop or mixture, contact Hamish Crichton at DSV UK to arrange.
