Our prices are the lowest + Eco-Grass ships free! (within the contiguous United States).  RECOMMENDED SEEDING RATE: 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.  |  220 lbs. per acre A versatile blend of fine-leaved fescue grasses that is the responsible alternative to an energy-intensive conventional turf lawn. Eco-Grass, also called Eco Lawn or No Mow, is an excellent choice for solid border areas or footpaths adjacent to native plantings. This grass mix of cultivar fescues establishes quickly, growing into a flowing carpet that can go unmowed or be mowed to a recommended 3” height occasionally or frequently, depending on rainfall, application and intended use. Ecograss grows in most soil types and sun conditions but is not suitable for wet soil or full shade.  The thin blades of the fescues and their relatively deep root systems (4-9”) enhance drought-resistance by reducing water loss and reaching deeper water reserves. When Eco-Grass reaches about 8” it begins to form seed heads and tends to flop over, which can add an attractive naturalistic flow to your landscape. Once established, it is durable under moderate foot traffic. It resists invasion by filling in well, but will not encroach on neighboring plantings. Eco-Grass yields big savings as a lawn alternative by eliminating or reducing the need for pesticides, fertilizers and frequent watering or mowing.  These slow growing, deep rooted fescues establish even in low-nutrient soils.  The reduced need for summer watering makes Eco-grass less attractive than irrigated lawns for pests like lawn grubs, the problematic larvae that feed on turfgrass roots. A cool-season grass blend, Eco-Grass is best planted spring or early fall, on a prepared site from which all weeds or competing species, and the weed seed bank in the soil, have been removed prior to planting .  S pring plantings have the advantage of early-season soil moisture, while e arly Fall plantings have the advantage of moderate temperature

Rose verbena's fragrant flowers can be found blooming off and on throughout the year from March through November. They attract bees, butterflies, and the occasional hummingbird. This plant may be a good candidate for use in hanging baskets. It is very drought tolerant, and too much moisture can cause its roots to rot. Because of its low, sprawling habit and ability to form roots where stem nodes make good soil contact, rose verbena makes a great groundcover in dry, sunny situations. While it is a perennial, it can be short-lived, especially in colder regions. Bloom time: March - November Uses: Ground cover, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, drought tolerant Height:  10 to 12 inches Space:  18 to 36 inches Sun:  Full sun to light shade Moisture:  Dry to average
