Excellent product
"Delivery was very prompt, used to repair and overseed my lawn that had badly damaged by leather jackets. Despite the low temperatures the seed germinated and is growing well. Pictures show improvement after about 5 weeks"
Description

The high proportion of chewings fescue in this seed mix produces an extremely fine sward which is suitable for high quality ornamental lawns. Slender creeping red fescue and browntop bent help to provide resistance to wear and an ability to strengthen the sward. The mix is able to respond well to a reduced mowing regime.
Formal Grass Seed Features
- Fine appearance
