More About the Mixture:
Dwarf Ryegrass is a specifically bred strain of Perennial Ryegrass, selected for its ability to produce a thicker sward than a standard Ryegrass species and its shorter growth habits. Strong creeping red fescue has creeping rhizomes. Rhizomes are a network of roots that live under the surface of the ground they typically grow horizontally, rather than vertically. Rhizomes often give the plant a higher chance of survival in tough environmental conditions. This species of grass has a more vigorous creeping habit than some similar species which helps to create a dense, hardwearing lawn. The shallow roots help it to remain green even in the driest of soils. Timothy Grass is probably the most important and flexible grass species which is used both environmentally and agriculturally. It is a very common species found in grasslands all over the UK. |
