Our Low Grow Grass Mix is a great mixture of lower maintenance cool season grasses that establish well in cooler climates and higher altitudes (up to 8,000 ft). The lower growth habit of the grasses means infrequent or no mowing. Well-suited for erosion control and transition turf areas.

When stored in a Cool and Dry environment, this mixture has a multi-year shelf life. Additional seeds purchased this year can be used for many years when stored properly.

General Grass Seeding Tips:

Timing:  Seed in the Spring or Fall when the soil temperature is 60 to 70 degrees

Preparation:  Ensure adequate drainage of your site.  Cultivate 4-6 inches with topsoil.  Incorporation of a starter fertilizer will help provide proper nutrients for early growth.  Keep the seed bed firm, not fluffy.

Seeding:  Using a drop spreader or a broadcast spreader, spread half the seed lengthwise over your site, and then the other half crosswise over your site.  A recommended seeding rate is listed on the seed tag.

Moisture:  To help promote good seed germination, keep the newly seeded area moist.

Maintenance:   Do not mow to less than 3 inches in height. Overseed bare spots to minimize weed growth.  Spring or Fall are excellent times for overseeding.
