The color of Axcella 2, an annual winter turfgrass, is much darker green than forage-type annuals, such as Gulf ryegrass. Managers of sports fields typically avoid using annual winter turfs because they believe they won't stand up to traffic as well as perennials. This isn't necessarily the case with Axcella 2, said Dr. Lloyd Nelson, the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station scientist who developed the turfgrass.
