Our No Mow Grass Seed Mix is the solution for a low-maintenance drought tolerant lawn. This is a cool season grass mix, featuring six dwarf fine fescue grasses - Jamestown Chewing Fescue, Quatro Sheep Fescue, Sea Link Slender Fescue, Sword Fescue, Aurora Fescue, and Kent Creeping Fescue.
This specially blended mix of grasses has been formulated to create a lawn with deep fibrous roots; this helps to increase its durability in high traffic areas. Dense, deep roots also create a drought tolerant lawn; No Mow turf typically only needs about 4” of rain per month, requiring little additional irrigation, except during dry spells without summer rains. Left un-mowed, the grass blades create a wonderfully soft, swirling pattern. For a more manicured look, it can be cut once every four to six weeks to a height of 3" to 4". This grass mix can tolerate shade; in summer or anytime the average temperature is above 80°F, it should be kept at 3″ or taller to prevent the ends from rusting or burning.
This mix is suited for a wide range of the United States and is best for regions in the cooler average-rainfall areas of the upper Midwest, northeastern US, and higher elevations of the West (See recommended planting area map in product photos). No Mow is best sown in March through early May, or late August through September. This grass grows best at and around 70°F.

"Had some that worked well last year so bought more. This batch seems to be loaded with clover that grows fast and tall and is next to impossible to pull and remove without pulling most of the grass with it. Rather disappointing."
"good grass I like the way it looks"
"We love the "No Mow" grass. It is nice and plush, soft on your feet, rarely needs water, rich mix of greens, I just can't say enough about it. 10/10 We only mow when we want to but never because we have to and that is life changing with our large yards."
"not growing much or very well. despite careful planting and consistent watering. It's been a month and this grass seed looks like very patchy peach fuzz. Very short, ultra fine and sparse/patchy. Much of it didn't come up at all."
"This is a beautiful grass but where it's low maintenance for mowing it has high water demands here in southern MS. Doesn't like high heat."
"I bought short fescue along with micro clover to seed my yard. Most of the yard was covered with weeds, which had to be pulled out by hand. It was impossible to get them all, but after doing as much as I could I seeded the lawn twice. The clover is amazing because it actually takes over the remaining weeds slowly but surely. the short fescue is there to give some sturdiness to foot traffic. I used a mixture of 75% short fescue and 25% clover"
"Beautiful Lush Green Appearance Low Maint and Erosion Control. This grass serves everything that was promised. I live on a steep hillside southwest Illinois. Best vegetation I have ever found for beauty, choking out weeds and controlling erosion"
