RPR with Yellow Jacket, formerly known as Turf Star RPR with Yellow Jacket, is a professional turf used for a golf course, multi-use sports fields, lawns, parks, and recreational facilities. A mixture of 60% RPR Patented Technology and 40% Premium Perennial Ryegrass variety. Highly recommended for its extreme wear tolerance and ability to recover thin and damaged turf. May be used during the cool and warm season and still maintain its quality and dark green color. RPR with Yellow Jacket has high resistance and tolerance for diseases and insects. With its rapid germination and quick establishment, it has excellent endurance for heavy traffic and other challenges for turfgrass. Available in a 10 lb and 25 lb bag.
RPR with Yellow Jacket is coated with Yellow Jacket Enhanced Seed Coating. Yellow Jacket is like having a sponge around each and every seed. Once water is applied, the coating holds that moisture and other nutrients around the seed - making them available as needed for germination and establishment. Without coating, the water simply passes the seed allowing it to dry out, resulting in more frequent watering and increased expense.

Great looking grass that handles foot traffic well
By Sean on 02/12/2021
Did a lot of research for best grass for my area (Pacific NW) and this was one of them. The product grows fast and tall but you can cut it extremely short. Mowing with a reel mower makes it look amazing. Just remember, only get this if you plan to mow 2 - 3 times a week.

Best Seed for Beginners
By Tracy on 12/10/2021
My lawncare knowledge went from 0-60 when I started in April of 2021. I knew nothing beyond knowing how to mow and even that I didn't understand what a proper mow was. FF to late summer/early fall, after armyworms destroyed 50% of my backyard before I even knew what an armyworm was and how to get rid of them. How was I, a total novice going to pull off an overseeding project? Thanks to RPR, my project was a stunning success far beyond my expectations. It's December 10, 2021 today and I have the greenest, healthiest looking grass on the entire street! I have now stocked up on Barenbrug RPR and Barenbrug Turf Blue Pro KBG for the 2022 season to be ready for anything - armyworms, dog pee, thin and bald spots, overseeding after leveling, fall overseeding, etc.

Yes, Turf Star RPR with Yellow Jacket has to be watered in. Once water is applied, the coating holds that moisture and other nutrients around the seed - making them available as needed for germination and establishment.
