{"product_id":"tall-fescue-grass-seed","title":"Tall Fescue Grass Seed","description":"\u003cp\u003eTall fescue is the one to reach for when a lawn has to put up with a bit of punishment. It's a cool-season grass that also handles warm weather, and its very deep root system is what lets it hold colour through a dry Kiwi summer and bounce back from wear better than a fine lawn will. It's naturally dark green, and it asks for less water and fertiliser than a ryegrass lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool-season grass that also enjoys warm weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very deep — strong heat and drought tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMowing height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less fertiliser and water than ryegrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-sun lawns that dry out over summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily lawns and back yards that cop foot traffic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanks and open ground where deep roots help hold the soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork the area over and rake to a fine, level seedbed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread the seed evenly — half in one direction, half at right angles, so you don't leave stripes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRake in lightly and firm the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep it damp until the seed is up and away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow in early autumn or spring, ideally once soil temperature is above 15°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1kg for patching and small lawns; 5kg for a full lawn or a larger area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair it with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daltons Lawn Soil as a seedbed, and a starter lawn fertiliser.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Village Green Seed","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":47202152153190,"sku":"TALLFESCUE01","price":23.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":47202152185958,"sku":"TALLFESCUE05","price":92.6,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/daltonslandscapes.co.nz\/products\/tall-fescue-grass-seed","provider":"Daltons Landscape Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
