Product description of the manufacturer
The Greenato Dryland lawn seed (5 kg) is a specially developed mixture for dry and sunny locations. It is ideal for gardens with sandy soils or regions with low rainfall. Thanks to its composition with deep-rooted grasses such as Festuca arundinacea, it is particularly drought-resistant and requires less irrigation, which results in water savings. It also forms a dense sward with an intense green colour and regenerates quickly after use.
Advantages
- High drought resistance
- Easy to clean
- Rapid regeneration
Disadvantages
