The best lawn needs the best seed, read on and find out exactly why SO-GREEN is scientifically proven to be the best for all year green colour. SO-GREEN is the new lawn seed that resists turning yellow, staying a vibrant green colour even during summer droughts and winter. It is a tough wearing mixture with outstanding visual appearance. Your lawn will be the envy of your neighbours ALL YEAR ROUND when you choose SO-GREEN, it will be green and luscious when everybody else's has faded. This is science, not marketing The green colour in grass leaves is chlorophyll that intercepts light and converts it to sugars - the process of photosynthesis. Normal ageing or severely stressed leaves break down the chlorophyll. This process removes any greenness and the grass leaves turn yellow. In 1969, a scientist at the Institute of Grassland & Environmental Research (IGER) noticed that leaves on a single grass plant in a field trial kept their green colour during autumn and winter, instead of turning the expected yellow colour, as leaves did on surrounding plants. Later it was found that leaves on plants bred from the original 'stay green' plant also retained their green colour during drought. Ever since this discovery, scientists have been excited about the potential for all season, greener lawn grass. A product researched & developed by the top experts in the UK Thanks to the unique UK-based IGER turfgrass breeding programme - funded exclusively by British Seed Houses since 1987 - the exciting potential of the original 'stay green' plant is now available.
