Description of Summer Lawn Plus Tall Fescue & BluegrassSummer Lawn Plus brand tall fescue blend
contains varieties selected and bred specifically
for brown patch resistance in an area
where brown patch disease is prevalent. As a
result, Summer Lawn blend displays an
excellent tolerance to brown patch.
Summer Lawn Plus produces a dark green,
moderately low growing, turf-type tall fescue
turf with improved summer performance due
to excellent heat tolerance. Also, the addition of Kentucky Bluegrass to this seed blend allows for a dense and finer lawn.
Summer Lawn Plus is
widely adapted and has shown very good
persistence in turf trials.
Summer Lawn Plus has shade and wear tolerance
and is ideal for home lawns, parks,
athletic fields, sod production, golf course
roughs and roadside areas where traffic,
trees, and maintenance budgets are a consideration.
Planting Summer Lawn Plus Blend
After spreading seed at the indicated rates, cover to a depth of 1/4" and keep moist
until well rooted. After about 30 days, when seedlings reach a height of 3", mow back to 2". Limited
use of the area can be expected in about 6
weeks.
Summer Lawn has a medium growth
habit that competes aggressively with weeds
and other species for establishment.
Maintaining Summer Lawn Plus
Summer Lawn Plus requires low to medium
nitrogen application with 2-3 lbs. actual N
per year adequate in most situations.
Summer Lawn thrives at a mowing height of
11⁄2 to 3". Irrigation rates are considerably
less than with ryegrass or bluegrass.
