Description

This cool season grass grows to be about 18” tall and the cool season grass is one of the earliest species to grow in the spring. We recommend cutting once it reaches ankle-high and then cutting every 4-6 weeks after that. Although this grass is a perennial, it may need to be re-seeded in the fall or spring, depending on usage.
