It has the best shade tolerance of any common lawn grass, so it thrives under tree canopy and on the shady sides of a house where sun-loving grasses thin out. It is rhizomatous — it spreads by rhizomes (underground stems) — which means it creeps outward on its own to fill bare spots and repair wear, building a dense, fine-bladed, barefoot-soft lawn. It is genuinely low-input: it needs less mowing, watering, and fertilizer than Kentucky Bluegrass or ryegrass, and it tolerates poor, sandy, and acidic soils. Our seed is uncoated and tested for purity and germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -14.0pt;
