The world's No. 1 Paspalum.
When passion and precision meet in a turf, the result is Platinum TE™
This Paspalum innovation by Dr. Ron R. Duncan offers unsurpassed playability and appearance.
Platinum TE has a darker green color than other Paspalum varieties, a very fine leaf texture, and very compact density.
This naturally selected Paspalum is certified and approved, and is perfect for installation from tee to green.
Platinum TE is the turf of choice for more than 150 golf course and sports field projects worldwide, thanks to its shade tolerance, high salt tolerance, and rapid divot recovery.
