Plant Palette 10No-mow Turf Grass

Fescue grasses from the genus Festuca:– slow growing– narrow leaved– shade tolerant

This low maintenance "No Mow" turf mix contains single season rye grass seeds for soil stability and quick growth of green lawn. The Fescue seeds are no different from those in our other "No Mow" turf mix. Both contain a specially designed blend of six low-growing Fine Fescue turf grasses, which will: Grow to form a dense turf, Thrive in full sun or partial shade, Require little if any watering or fertilizing, Biologically reduce weed growth, once established, Require limited mowing, usually only once or twice a year, Reduce your lawn maintenance dramatically.
