Lesco Double Eagle Perennial Ryegrass Seed

Lesco Double Eagle Blend is a premium turf-type perennial ryegrass blend developed for professional-quality lawns, sports fields, parks, golf course roughs, and high-traffic turf applications. This advanced blend combines three elite-generation perennial ryegrass cultivars selected for rapid establishment, superior turf density, rich dark green color, and excellent wear tolerance in cool-season growing regions.

The cultivars featured in Double Eagle Blend have performed exceptionally well in university and independent turfgrass evaluations, consistently demonstrating improved disease resistance, attractive appearance, and strong traffic recovery. The blend is particularly recognized for its enhanced resistance to Gray Leaf Spot, one of the most damaging diseases affecting perennial ryegrass turf.

Double Eagle Blend establishes quickly from seed, making it an excellent option for overseeding existing turf, repairing thin or damaged lawns, or creating new turf areas that require fast coverage and durability. Its fine leaf texture and dense growth habit create a manicured, professional appearance while maintaining strong performance under athletic activity, foot traffic, and general wear.

This blend also contains beneficial endophytes that naturally help defend turfgrass against many common surface-feeding insects, supporting healthier stands with reduced stress and improved long-term persistence.
