Combining high visual merit with super wear tolerance.

Chardin is ranked as one of the very best varieties of perennial ryegrass in simulated sport management in the STRI trials (UK).

Clean cut

We are light years from dessicated leaf tips of varieties popular 15 years back! Chardin will fit into even the highest prestige ornamental lawns as well as premier league sport pitches.

Confirmed results

The very high wear tolerance, fineness and the outstanding winter visual merit AND summer performance are confirmed in official French tests (GEVES 2011).

Rusts won't disturb the high level visual merit

Chardin is ranking number 1 for rust tolerance on the French list!
