TifElite™ is an improved, certified centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) developed by the University of Georgia Tifton Campus. It is bred for superior turf density, uniform texture, and enhanced visual appeal compared to common centipedegrass, while retaining the species’ hallmark low‐input maintenance requirements.
