What makes Endurant Flex different?

Endurant Flex combines the benefits of a pigment, such as Endurant TE for actively growing grass, with the benefits of a paint, such as Endurant TC and the other shades of Endurant paint, which are formulated for excellent pigmentation of dormant turf. With Endurant Flex turf colorant, you get the benefits of a pigment with the benefits of a paint for those in between times and those in between zones, among other applications.

Why Flex? Why now?

Geoponics launches their newest product, Endurant Flex, as Endurant turf colorant celebrates its 10th Anniversary of painting grass. Ten years ago, Endurant became the professional's choice for adding color to turgrass at times when chlorophyll was naturally lacking, such as in seasonal dormancy of warm season grass species, including Bermuda grass. This practice of painting grass using Endurant was implemented to provide a great look and to conserve water, avoid harsh chemical usage, minimize labor expenses, improve transitions between warm and cool season grasses and increase playability on golf courses. For golf course superintendents specifically, using Endurant on the dormant turf not only added color, it provided the firm and fast playing conditions as preferred by golfers. Still, there are transitions and times overseed is still used and those are among the times to Flex. [caption id="attachment_1387" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Before and after photos show Endurant turf colorant on dormant warm season Bermuda grass.[/caption] One of the challenges for some golf course superintendents, landscapers and turfgrass managers remains managing the transitions and transition zones, efficiently, economically, aesthetically and with optimal results agronomically-- all while providing optimal playing surfaces when applicable to golf courses and athletic fields. Whether it's the time of year when turfgrass is transitioning from actively growing grass to dormant turf or the other way around, when dormant turf is on its way back in growing and producing chlorophyl, these in between times call for a flexible product, one that is in between two of Endurant's fan favorites-- Endurant turf paints and Endurant TE pigment.

Many turfgrass professionals find Endurant provides better turf, true natural color, and agronomic benefits while decreasing costs and environmental strains caused by overseeding. Overseeding requires more water usage and damage to water sources as overseeding often includes overwatering and over-fertilizing winter turf. While Endurant turf colorants aren't really anything new, more and more people in professions including agriculture, golf course management, landscaping, sod farming, real estate, sports field management, and others are learning how helpful Endurant turf color enhancers can be in a variety of conditions, including drought, dormancy, water restrictions, tight budgets, television and filming. Endurant can be used on dormant turf, actively growing grass, warm season and cool season grasses.

Ask Mr. Wise Grass about Endurant turf colorants

West Coast Turf and their sister company Western Sod have lauded the benefits of Endurant as an alternative to overseed. Mr. Wise Grass is the name of a West Coast Turf blog where a turfgrass pro named Jay posts information on everything you need to know about the best sod and turfgrass for your environment, uses, and budget. He answers common questions regarding issues surrounding grass and more technical issues that can be resolved with years of professional experience. Here's what Jay has to say about Endurant turf paint:

This product can be applied to overseeded or dormant turf to give your lawn the same ryegrass color you seeded with. The turf paint serves another purpose besides just providing color. It heats up the plant and will allow for faster spring green up in dormant turf and will help new ryegrass plants fill in any voids from the encroaching bermudagrass during seeding.

Applying Endurant Lawn and Turf Paint to Zoysia grass

Applying Endurant Turf Paint to #Zoysia in common areas in south Florida Benefits of Endurant turf paint include:

• Natural Color
• Easy to Use
• Affordable
• Concentrated

Zoysia grass is a popular warm season perennial turf grass variety in coastal areas. While any of the colors in the Endurant turf colorant line are suitable for use on zoysia grass, most people prefer the Endurant Perennial Rye as their colorant of choice for this warm season grass. Whether zoysia grass is yellowing or experiencing dormancy, Endurant turf colorant provides optimal results on zoysia. Zoysia grass is a densely growing grass variety that may be slow to green-up in the spring. Zoysia responds to drought by turning brown and going dormant quite quickly. During an absence of rain or irrigation, zoysia grass stays dormant for extended periods of time. Once irrigation or rainfall resumes, zoysia grass will regain its green color. In the mean time, Endurant turf paint is often used to keep the green color of the zoysia grass in the most economical and environmentally friendly way. Endurant turf paint offers the optimal agronomic results on zoysia grass. Painting dormant warm season grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda, St. Augustine and Centipede is increasingly popular as a maintenance strategy to keep green grass color of lawns, sports fields and golf courses throughout the year. Painting with Endurant turf colorant is replacing the old maintenance strategy of overseeding. Overseeding is unnecessarily expensive, leads to transition challenges, creates agronomic problems and is less environmentally sustainable when compared with using Endurant turf paint. Furthermore, Endurant turf colorant provides year round aesthetic appeal unmatched by other paint varieties that often fade into unnatural color. Endurant is long lasting and fades on tone-- so the grass stays green. Endurant turf paint is environmentally friendly and eliminates the costly need to overseed lawns and turf grass with cool season grasses such as rye grass. Benefits to painting Zoysia and other warm season grasses with Endurant include eliminating competition for nutrients and sunlight between the overseeded grass variety and the warm season grass. This competition leads to transition related problems that can be avoided by choosing to paint with Endurant turf colorant versus overseeding. Fewer maintenance practices, such as mowing, in addition to reducing the usage of harsh chemicals, fertilizers and herbicides are additional benefits of choosing Endurant turf colorant instead of overseeding. Zoysia grass is a particularly dense warm season grass variety. Endurant's high concentrations of organic pigments combined with binders made especially for excellent adherence to turfgrass makes Endurant an excellent colorant choice for homeowners, golf course superintendents and lawn maintenance professionals who are seeking optimal aesthetic, agronomic, economic and environmentally sustainable practices.
