San Diego bentgrass, also known as seashore bentgrass, California bentgrass, west coast bentgass, or simply, thingrass, is a perennial grass native to western North America. It is found all over California except for the central valley and deserts. This native grass can be used as a cover crop or a lawn substitute, requiring half the water of non-native lawn grasses. San Diego bentgrass tolerates foot traffic, is mowing optional, and provides a deep green color. When mowed, San Diego bentgrass has the look of a golf course fairway, otherwise, it grows to have a meadow-like look.

Chewings fescue is a cool season bunch-type grass that is very fine and soft to the touch. Because of its fine texture, it can be used to establish a meadow-like lawn if left unmowed. Grows very well in areas that are cool and shaded. Like other fine fescues, it is often used in areas where low amounts of mowing, irrigation, and sunlight is required. As a long-living perennial with a lovely medium green appearance, this grass is an excellent choice for an attractive low-maintenance lawn.

Scientific Name: Festuca rubra

Traditional lawns require a lot of upkeep to maintain that beautiful dark green color. After all, watering lawns is becoming more expensive, and mowing the grass during its active growth phase is a hassle when you don’t have all that extra spare time.

These reasons are why low-maintenance grass species are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homes, businesses, and golf courses. While many intriguing varieties can meet these low-maintenance needs, creeping red fescue grass (Festuca rubra) is among the best options for shady properties.

Red fescue is characterized by deep roots and impressive resilience to wear and drought. It helps with erosion control and has good shade tolerance, making it an ideal grass seed for many lawns across the country north of the Deep South line.

Transform your lawn into a low-maintenance meadow with our high-quality creeping red fescue grass seed.

Red fescue grass is a cool season, long-lived perennial sod-former adapted to cool, shady areas. It is often used in areas where low amounts of mowing, irrigation, and sunlight are required. It acts as a perennial lawn grass in USDA planting zones 1 through 7 and annual grass in zones 8 through 10.

Unlike other fine fescues, creeping red is a sod-former and can form a thick, carpet-like lawn around other bunchgrasses. Because of its fine texture, you can establish a meadow-like lawn if left unmowed.

What Makes Red Fescue Grass a Great Choice for Your Lawn

If you live above the Deep South line, your property can thrive thanks to our Red Fescue grass. It’s a simple yet deeply beautiful cool-season grass that can remain green throughout most of the year thanks to its exceptional shade tolerance and moderate water requirements. But there are many other reasons our customers love this mix.

Reason #1: Low-Maintenance and Low-Cost Grass

Red fescue grass requires monthly mowing only and rarely needs to be dethatched, which cuts down on the time it takes to maintain a healthy lawn. Additionally, it only requires occasional watering throughout the summer months and light nitrogen feeding in the fall.

Compared to other cool-season grasses, the grass seed cost is lower, making this an affordable home lawn and golf course fescue. It also makes for easy lawn care when planted with other popular grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass seed.

Reason #2: Drought, Heat, and Cold-Tolerant

Red fescue grass is characterized by a high tolerance for cold and shade, moderately wear-resistant properties, and even some heat tolerance.

The plant’s deep root system provides tough resistance against drought, which is why its water requirements are moderate compared to many other blends that require frequent watering.

Red fescue is also naturally a transition-zone plant, which thrives best at moderate temperatures. While this grass seed does well when planted in New England all the way down to West Virginia and as far west as Northern California, it can struggle in states with scorching climates — it tends to brown when the weather is too hot and humid.

Reason #3: Thrives in Poor, Sandy Soil

Red fescue grass is well suited to damp soil but can also live successfully in poor, sandy soil.

The odds are that our Red Fescue grass seed will thrive no matter the condition your soil is in. So, if you have patches in your lawn where other grass varieties seem unable to take hold, just scatter some creeping red fescue grass seed and wait for the magic.

Reason #4: Germinates Quickly While Creeping and Spreading Rapidly

After planting your red fescue grass, you should notice growth within 12 to 24 days. This rapid germination is why fescue lawns are a favorite for homeowners looking to transform their properties quickly.

Here’s how it works: Every time this grass variety roots at a node, it sends up new stalks, spreading along the ground. The creeping red fescue grass is the perfect turf to quickly fill a lawn because of its creeping behavior and quick sprouting.

Benefit #5: Fine-Bladed Grass with a Dark Green Color

The red fescue is a fine-bladed grass with narrow and deep emerald-green leaves. In the bud, the leaves are folded, there are no auricles, and a short membranous ligule is visible. The black hue surrounding the stalk’s base is where the unique deep red coloring comes from.

Grow a Lush Lawn with Red Fescue Grass from Nature’s Seed

Red fescue is an excellent companion grass for your lawn if you’re looking for low-maintenance, cool-season grass with good shade tolerance. Because it’s easy to maintain, it’s a popular golf course fescue and a fine addition to residential and commercial lawns.

Plant it on its own in shady areas, or mix this grass variety with Kentucky bluegrass, zoysia grass seed, or perennial ryegrass seed to rejuvenate your lawn.

Microclover® “spoon feeds” nitrogen to the grass, producing a healthy, dense, and naturally green lawn. It helps out-compete weeds and keeps grass green all season long.

• All the benefits of traditional white clover packed into very tiny leaves
• Tolerates closer mowing than standard white clover
• It is an ideal lawn alternative for those wanting low-maintenance lawns
• Its natural growth habit acts as a natural fertilizer
• Comes coated and inoculated
• Prefers full sun and is not naturally shade-tolerant

Why Micro Clover Seeds Are a Great Lawn Alternative

Microclover is similar to Dutch white clover, which is traditionally planted on properties whose soil needs some health improvement. Similarly, this genetically dwarf clover combination adds nitrogen to your soil and improves the health of new and old grass lawns. Here’s how:

Reason #1: Microclover Provides Improved Density and Robustness

Microclover is an inoculant that ensures nitrogen fixation. By drawing in atmospheric nitrogen and transforming it into organic nitrogen in a form that can nourish turf grasses, microclover “spoon feeds” this nutrient to the ground cover. This results in easy-to-maintain turf grass that is robust, dense, and brilliantly green.

Reason #2: Microclover is Drought-Tolerant

Due to its deep root system, microclover can retain moisture more than most native grasses, requiring less fertilizer and maintenance. This means that it keeps your grass greener and lusher throughout the spring and summer. Plus, this perennial clover remains greener for much longer than other turf grasses during even the coldest conditions.

Reason #3: Microclover Makes Maintenance Easier

Microclover can make your life easier in several ways:

• Since microclover grass grows vigorously and densely, it crowds out existing weeds and prevents new ones, protecting your lawn against dangerous diseases and being dried out
• Due to its even growth habit, microclover requires less mowing and fertilization, guaranteeing shorter and greener coverage throughout its peak growing months from early spring to early fall!

What does this mean for you? Less time spent outside perfecting how your lawn looks. You might even notice your neighbors envying how little work your microclover lawn requires!

How to Seed Microclover On Your Property

Seeding your own property saves money and allows you to control the type of grass and plants growing on your land, but using high-quality seeds is essential.

Buying from a trusted source like Nature’s Seed ensures that your lawn or garden will thrive and stay vibrant. Taking the time to seed your property correctly can also benefit the surrounding environment by providing a healthy ecosystem for wildlife, improving air and soil quality, and preventing soil erosion.

The good news? Micro clover lawn seed can do just that.

Micro Clover On an Existing Lawn

Microclover grass can create a vibrant and healthy green lawn when combined with other types of heat, drought, and frost-resistant lawn grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, zoysia grass seed, or perennial ryegrass seed blends.

When introducing microclover grass to an existing lawn, make sure that you:

• Aerate the soil before cutting, and be sure to mow close to the soil surface
• Continually sow at a rate of 1 pound for 1,000 square feet

Micro Clover On a New Lawn

There are plenty of reasons you might need to build a new lawn: Whether you’ve bought a new property or your current lawn is dying to no avail, you can create a healthy and vibrant lawn with ease as long as you know how to do it.

If you’re building an entirely new lawn from scratch using microclover, here’s what you need to know:

• Remove preexisting vegetation by tilling, digging, or with a sod-cutter.
• Rake site to loosen and smooth out the soil surface. Remove any large stones, clumps, or other debris.
• Use a broadcast spreader on the smallest setting to sow the seed. Clover seed is very small, so it is beneficial to mix it with inert matter to help it distribute better. 2-3 parts sand to 1 part seed.
• After sowing the seed, lightly rake the area again to work seeds into the soil (no more than 1/4-1/8 inch deep).
• Keep the area constantly moist throughout the germination period of 7-15 days.
