• Our No-Mow Flowering Lawn Seed Mix is easy to grow!

It’s possible to have a lush, green lawn that hardly needs watering, mowing, fertilizing, and herbicides. While clover enhances your soil health below ground, above ground the cheerful, long-blooming flowers help nourish pollinators. A perfect solution for a low-maintenance lawn! 

• Clover seed can be planted fresh, or it can be sown into an established grass lawn.

Save time, water, and money while enjoying a lush, attractive lawn. Dwarf fescue grasses create a thick, deep green carpet of finely textured turf. Deer roots create a lawn that is durable, drought-tolerant, and ideal for high traffic areas. It can be mowed occasionally for a “manicured" look, or left to grow into soft waves.

• Our No-Mow Lawn Grass is a versatile, easy-to-grow solution for less mowing
• Grow it alone, or grow one of our No-Mow flowering lawn mixes for extra flower power.

Tall ornamental grasses create a beautiful, low-maintenance meadow. The grasses sway in the breeze, and catch the afternoon light with their airy seed heads. Native grasses are the cornerstone of wildlife habitats, and they provide nesting materials, food, and habitat for birds and beneficial insects too.

• At this house, mowing just the edges of the meadow creates walking paths, provides contrast, and visually communicates an intentional, well-maintained yard.
