Imagine all the free time you'll have with less watering and mowing! Replace your lawn this season and save time and resources with our low maintenance Freedom Lawn I.
This mix contains cool season fescue grasses that are drought tolerant. Initially, they will grow to approximately 18" tall and fall over to create a fountain grass look. The finished height will be about 6 to 12 inches.
Freedom Lawn I will look like bunch grass with some dirt in between the bunches. Use it in low traffic areas, to border a native seeding, or in areas that can be tricky to mow.
Can be used as a turf replacement or in areas prone to erosion for stabilization.
Planting Times and Recommendations:
In the spring when daytime temperatures are getting warmer and nights are still cool. This is typically between April and early June. In the late summer cooler days and nights will help the seeds to establish. This is typically late August through September.
Sow the seed into a prepared seed bed, lightly rake it in, and cover the areas lightly with a clean straw. This mix can be over seeded into an existing lawn as well to enhance it and add these species in. If possible, lightly roll the seeded area with a lawn roller or tractor tires to help get good seed to soil contact. Water the seed in at installation and after that if there is no rain in the forecast. Watering in the early mornings and evenings is best. If needed, watering should continue until the plants reach heights of at least 6 inches.
Please note: these mixes may require mowing the first season to keep the Annual Rye Grass from getting too tall.
