No Weeds | No Filler | Elite Grass Seed

For Canadian Lawns: Versatility and Unmatched Dark Green Colour

This premium seed blend is crafted specifically for Canadian lawns, designed to deliver exceptional results in our unique climate. Canadian Elite Green Total Lawn Blend combines three ultra-dark cultivars (grass types) to create a thick, richly coloured lawn that thrives in a variety of conditions. 

Why choose Canadian Elite Green?

Our signature blend features:

  • 40% Alpha Centauri Perennial Ryegrass for dark colour, fast establishment, and strong natural disease resistance
  • 30% Prosperity Kentucky Bluegrass for ultra-dark genetic colour and self-repairing growth that fills in bare spots over time
  • 30% Hype Creeping Red Fescue for shade tolerance, fine texture, and cold-climate durability in areas where other grasses thin out

Each cultivar was hand-picked because it ranks among the darkest in its species category in National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials, the independent research program used by turf professionals across North America. All three cultivars in this blend have been tested at Canadian NTEP trial sites in Ontario and Quebec, and all three scored among the darkest entries at those locations. That's what makes this a triple-dark blend. Not just one dark cultivar carrying the colour while the others wash it out, but three species that were each selected for genetic colour and tested to prove it.

This three-species blend is also built for Canadian winters. Mixing perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and creeping red fescue gives your lawn multiple survival strategies. If one species takes a hard winter, the others hold ground and help the lawn recover in spring.

Designed to adapt to full sun, partial shade, and different soil types across Canada, Canadian Elite Green is a versatile choice for any lawn. And it delivers the kind of deep green colour that stands out on your street.

Superior genetics, higher purity, and better-than-big-box performance. 100% Canadian owned and operated, shipped from Etobicoke, Ontario.

Performance Data — NTEP Scores

Three Cultivars. The Data Behind Each One.

Every cultivar in this blend has been through the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) — a multi-year, multi-location trial run across universities and research stations. Cultivars are evaluated blind and scored on quality, colour, density, disease resistance, and stress tolerance under real-world conditions.

NTEP uses a 1-to-9 scale, but scores above 7.0 are rare in practice. A 6.0 is considered acceptable. Anything above 7.0 puts a cultivar near the top of the field.

Here's how each one performed.

40%
Alpha Centauri
Elite Perennial Ryegrass

Alpha Centauri is a new elite cultivar we introduced in 2025 — and the centrepiece of this blend. It offers dark green colour with individual NTEP site scores as high as 8.0, but what makes it rare is what comes with that colour: strong disease resistance, early spring green-up, and excellent salt tolerance. Most of the darkest-scoring ryegrasses in the NTEP trial gave back performance in other areas. Alpha Centauri didn't.

  • Dark genetic colour — scoring up to 8.0 at individual trial sites
  • Fast seedling vigour — establishes quickly and fills in dense
  • Fights dollar spot on its own — critical in provinces with cosmetic pesticide bans
  • One of the first cultivars to green up in spring
  • Excellent salt tolerance for Canadian winters

Prosperity
Elite Kentucky bluegrass

Prosperity is an elite Kentucky bluegrass with one of the longest performance records of any cultivar we carry, tested across three NTEP trial generations spanning nearly 20 years. Its defining trait is colour: Prosperity has finished in the top 5 for genetic colour in every trial it has entered, including a score of 7.7 at the Guelph, Ontario test site. But what makes it essential to this blend is what only a Kentucky bluegrass can do. Prosperity spreads underground via rhizomes, meaning it actively fills in thin spots, pet damage, and wear over time. Something neither ryegrass nor fescue can offer. It also brings strong leaf spot and dollar spot resistance and handles drought better than most bluegrasses in the field.

  • Consistently among the darkest Kentucky bluegrasses tested. Top 5 for colour across three NTEP trials
  • Establishes faster than most Kentucky bluegrasses. Top 20% for seedling vigor
  • Self-repairs through underground rhizomes. Fills in bare spots and wear damage over time
  • Above-average drought tolerance for a Kentucky bluegrass. Ranked #3 of 100+ entries
  • Tolerates low mowing heights. Bred for close cutting down to 0.5"

Hype
Elite Creeping Red Fescue

Hype is a strong creeping red fescue and the cultivar in this blend designed for the areas of your lawn where Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass can start to thin out. Fine fescues are the most shade-tolerant cool-season grasses available, and Hype scored 7.0 out of 9.0 in the NTEP shade trial at Ames, Iowa, finishing third among all strong creeping red fescue entries. It also ranked first in its species group for drought tolerance and scored 7.0 for colour at the Quebec, Canada test site. Along with shade performance and colour, Hype brings a fine leaf texture that blends cleanly with the other species in the mix, and it spreads via rhizomes to fill in and persist in lower-light areas over time.

  • Scored 7.0 / 9.0 in the NTEP shade trial. Thrives where bluegrass and ryegrass can start to thin out
  • Top 15% for colour among all fineleaf fescues tested. Won't clash with the darker cultivars in this blend
  • Most drought-tolerant strong creeping red fescue in the trial. Handles dry conditions with less water
  • Fine leaf texture. Blends visually with KBG and PRG for a uniform look
  • Spreads via rhizomes to fill in and hold ground in shaded areas
