Product Information

If you have pets or children, the combination of grass species presented in this mix will also prevent the lawn from getting so worn out in the future. Using strong ryegrasses and Red Fescue is a way to reduce the necessity for repeated reseeding as well. As a result, it’s the best grass seed if you have dogs and pets that often wear out the grass. Perennial Ryegrass and Fescue grasses do well in the shade. So if you’ve always struggled with a patchy, uneven lawn in shaded areas, make sure to buy a grass mix which contains these varieties. Watering-in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work. A certain amount of patience and trust is required as well, as the seed can lie relatively dormant for quite some time. Watering day and night, for as long as 15 days, is needed to start noticing small shoots appearing. It’s a great feeling when your lawn is lush and green. Unfortunately, this feeling doesn’t always last as wear and tear can really tire out a lawn fast.

Contains a special binder which helps to keep the seed from washing away and allows it to thrive. How to use The high content of Strong Creeping Red Fescue means that even if you have a lot of shade in your garden, this grass seed won’t have a problem growing there. Whereas other grass species can’t cut it in the shadows, the Red Fescue in this grass seed will help create cushiony areas under the trees, perfect for sitting in and keeping cool during summer.

Exceeds stringent regulations and is suitable for use in areas where children and pets have access. How to use Create a new lawn or fill in a bare patch

A3: In ideal conditions when the soil is moist, grass will start to appear from 7-10 days. In less favourable conditions allow 10-14 days. If the soil is cooler germination will take longer. If it's your first time using grass seed, it's handy to know whether or not grass seed will work on top of the soil. As grass seed is usually small, a layer of topsoil will reduce its chances of growing. A5: Mow the lawn short, rake out any dead grass etc. Spread and rake Miracle-Gro EverGreen Lawn Dressing thinly over the lawn and sprinkle 25gms/sqm of seed evenly across the lawn and rake it in. Water in with a fine spray and keep moist until the grass has established.

Best grass seed at a glance:

This seed has a more varied mix than some others featured here, with 43% Dwarf Amenity Ryegrass, 40% Creeping Red Fescue, 12% Chewings Fescue and 5% Browntop Bent. It’s a varied combination, intended to produce a lawn that can cope with excessive rain as well as drought, and everything in between. For this reason, it’s the best grass seed for the UK’s varied conditions. Tall Fescue in particular is known for managing well in wet weather. It’s a great grass species to look out for if you want to find the best grass seed for a wet or damp garden. Covered with a green coating, it seems to deter birds – possibly because they can’t see it as easily, or because it no longer smells like seed to them. Either way, once raked in, they are less likely to steal it all away than they might with other seed.
