It is a bunch-type grass (it grows in tufts rather than spreading by runners), but unusually upright and very dense, which gives it a thick, carpet-like appearance. Its two standout traits are exceptional shade tolerance — it thrives under tree canopy where most grasses thin out — and its tolerance of close mowing down to 1.5 inches, which lets you keep a formal, manicured look (it is a staple on golf-course roughs and tees). Its density naturally crowds out weeds, and it adapts to sandy, acidic, and infertile soils on minimal water and fertilizer. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExceptional shade tolerance: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethrives from full sun to heavy under-canopy shade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDense, carpet-like turf: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea thick, fine-bladed stand that suppresses weeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClose-mowing capability: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecuts to 1.5 inches for a formal, manicured lawn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow maintenance: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eless water and fertilizer than traditional lawn grasses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdapts to poor soil: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esandy, acidic, and infertile ground.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClean, uncoated seed: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eno fillers, coatings, or dyes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShade lawns and under-canopy turf\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow-maintenance residential and commercial lawns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGolf-course roughs and tees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFine-fescue blends for premium turf\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eErosion control on slopes and banks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow shallow — surface-sow or rake in no deeper than ¼ inch.
