Quick Facts 

TIGER II is an improved dark green, US adapted elite colonial bentgrass with a distinctive upright crown growth habit and very fine texture. In contrast to "Highland Types" which have unattractive broad stolons, Tiger has prolific slender stolons. Tiger does not exhibit false crowning as many common colonial bentgrass varieties do. Tiger is a top performing bentgrass for fairways and tees. It is resistant to dollar spot and fusarium patch.

Tiger II was developed for elite LHC turf surfaces on golf course greens (cool temperature climates), tees and fairways. It is very compatible in turfgrass mixtures and responds well to low levels of nitrogen. It requires less mowing, watering, and verticutting than improved creeping bentgrass. It provides better cool weather performance in winter overseeding programs.
