Centipede Grass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) was introduced into the United States from seed found in the baggage of Frank Meyer, a USDA plant explorer who disappeared on his fourth trip to China in 1916. It was initially used for low-maintenance cemeteries and eventually for lawns, during and after the Great Depression, and is sometimes referred to as "lazy man's grass," or "poor man's grass."

*Centipede coated has 50% Aquacoat and is treated with Apron XL Fungicide.*

Adaptation

Hancock's Coated Centipede Grass Seed is very popular for home lawns in the Southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Coated Seed vs Raw Seed

Coated seed contains a clay-based surrounding shell that increases moisture retention and helps to reduce insect or fowl consumption. Coated seed contains approximately 50% coating weight, or inert weight, per pound of seed. Coated Centipede Seed is also easier to see after it is applied. Raw seed features no fillers, coatings, or treatments.

Rave Reviews 

It's no secret why Hancock's Coated Centipede Seed is so popular. The answer is "because it works"! Here are a few of our favorite reviews from clients who have planted Hancock's Coated Centipede Seed: 

"This is the best grass seed I have ever planted!" says SJ Charles. "It is very hardy here in Georgia. It popped up quickly, and is a very pretty green color with lush leaves. I planted it in the full sun and also in part sun/ part shade and the grass is doing equally well in both areas. I highly recommend this seed!"

"Ordering was easy and I received my product promptly," says Allene B. "Over the years I have built several new homes and landscaped a new yard. I've purchased centipede grass seed from Hancock before and have also recommended the product to friends and family who have also used your product."

"Hancock's coated centipede grass seed is the only centipede seed that has grown in my yard," says Gary P. "Whether tilling the ground from scratch or over seeding to fill in bare spots this seed works for me. Proper ground prep is essential. You can not cut corners! It will take 5 or 6 weeks to see germination so patience and keeping the ground moist and properly fertilized for seed are a must. I will always come back to Hancock Seed if the need arises. Keep in mind, due to demand for coated seed you may have to wait for the seed if it's in the coating facility. This could take a few weeks, unless their supply in inventory is not sold out. It's worth the wait though."

"Frequent purchaser of Hancock Centipede grass seed in one or two pound quantities," says Jonathan B. "Have always been satisfied with results. River front property in Eastern NC. Grass has survived a couple of Hurricane floods in recent years."

For new lawns, seed Hancock's Coated Centipede Grass Seed any time it can be prepared, except in late summer. Planting in Florida should be accomplished no later than the end of August due to the chance of frost damage to young seedlings. Early Spring plantings should include 1-2 lbs. of Winter Rye Grass as a cover grass per 1000 sq. ft.

Prepare the seedbed by tilling the soil. Remove existing grass and debris. Apply 10-15 lbs. of a complete fertilizer per 1,000 sq. Do not use a weed-and-feed fertilizer product! Distribute seed evenly over soil surface by using a cyclone-type spreader. Mix with sand for best results and even distribution. Plant by raking the seed into the soil to a depth of no more than 1/2 inch. Keep the seedbed moist constantly for two to three weeks after planting. Hancock's Coated Centipede Grass Seed should germinate in 2 to 3 weeks. After germination, water only as needed.

Maintain your lawn by mowing at 1.5 to 2 in. in height. Cut no more than 1/3 of the leaf off during one mowing. Use sharp mower blades.

Fertilizer should be applied to Hancock's Centipede Grass in 1 to 3 applications, from spring green-up through fall. Do not apply nitrogen too early in the growing season (particularly in north Florida) or subsequent frosts may damage the grass. Likewise, don't fertilize too late in the year, as this can slow regrowth the following spring. If applying water-soluble fertilizers at the lower application rate, it will take more applications to apply the total amount of fertilizer needed for the year than if applying a slow-release fertilizer form.

Depending on the existing vegetation, seed rates should be adjusted to fit your specific needs. Higher seed rates will increase coverage on existing lawn applications.

Quality and security-oriented wallet
Color: Adventure Brown - Forest Brown
This is a neatly constructed wallet. The material of the leather feels satisfying to carry unlike previous wallets. This wallet consists of many card slots, and allows ease of access between them. The wallet can fit checks, cash and is just a nice layout and style to be able to look through it. Because some of our cards support RFID and NFC technology, bad actors can try to steal our credentials. This wallet has a material to mitigate these occurrences, but like anything in security whether it be physical security controls or the wide scope of cybersecurity, do not rely on it and try to be up-to-date with the trend. I am sure we would all want to be one step above in relation to keeping our credentials secure. Still, it is an excellently built wallet and I highly recommend it.

Beautiful Wallet
Color: With NO Logo - Smooth Nappa Black
Well constructed and beautiful wallet. The black Nappa leather I ordered is soft and smooth to the touch and you can tell by the look, feel, and smell that it is high quality. I love that you can order this with both a logo and no logo for a clean look. The design on this is well thought out. I'd definitely recommend this wallet to anyone. It is an amazing value and far superior to any other $30 wallet I've ever seen.

Almost perfect!
Color: With Coin Pocket - Forest Brown
I purchased this wallet primarily for its generous number of conveniently located slots and its coin pocket. If you can't fit everything you want to EDC in this wallet, you need to think about getting a sling bag! Having returned the same model in Grizzily Brown due to a stitching defect and ordered this one in Forest Brown, I can see it is a richer, lighter shade and the finish seems smoother and more refined. Some of my cards were tight in previous wallet slots, but everything fits great in this one. Why the one star off? First, this wallet is about a quarter inch too large in all dimensions, especially thickness. While it doesn't protrude out the top of my back pocket, it is a challenge to close the button on some pants and it is also snug side-to-side, so removal involves some wiggling until pockets stretch and the wallet breaks in. The leather used in its construction is smooth but stiff at first, given that it is about twice as thick as most American or European wallet leather I've owned: think bullhide. The smell is also a little off, definitely natural cowhide but processed with whatever is used to tan leather in India rather than in the United States. Finally, this looks like something that belongs in a pair of jeans or casual pants, NOT pulled out of a suit at a Michelin star restaurant. The stitching, evenness of dye and lines are far from perfect, but what it lacks in looks it more than makes up for in every day function, character, and anticipated durability.

The Best Wallet
Color: Boulder Black - Napa Smooth Black
This is the second wallet I have purchased from Bull Guard. The first one is identical and I have used it for approximately one year. The first wallet has held up perfectly. I just decided to buy a second one because I am so happy with the first one and I decided to break up my cards into frequently used in the second, new wallet and less frequently used in the first and older wallet. The capacity of the wallet is excellent. It easily holds all my credit cards, drivers license, bills, insurance ID cards, and my global entry card. The material, workmanship, durability, and quality is also excellent. The wallet is all leather and breaks in perfectly. The size is also perfect fitting perfectly in my rear pocket. For the price, this is the best man's wallet I have ever had and I highly recommend it.
