Top Grass Seed Companies

The top grass seed companies produce and distribute fresh seeds with a high germination rate. The label on seed packages lists the percentage of pure seed, the germination rate and the date the seeds were tested for germination. Pure seed refers to the desired variety or varieties of seeds, such as Bermuda grass or a shade mixture. Seed mixtures should contain a low percentage of inert matter (filler) and undesirable seeds. Crop seeds used to grow forage grass, like timothy grass or clover, are considered weeds in turf grass. Weed seeds are any other seeds not listed with pure seeds or crop seeds. Noxious weeds refer to seeds of plants that are legally undesirable.
