This mixture uses the most drought tolerant grass suitable for UK conditions – tall fescue. Tall fescue has a considerable root structure, which grows deep into the soil to access water that other species wouldn’t be able to reach.
Grass seed mixture for drought prone soils. In very light or sandy soils it can be a struggle to keep grass looking green without constant watering. Our Dry Soils Grass Seed uses tall fescue which is commonly used in areas of southern Europe and can tolerate extremes of heat and drought. Tall fescue is incredibly deep rooted and will stay green significantly longer in drought conditions. Perennial ryegrass will germinate rapidly and can also tolerate and recover well from extended periods of dry weather.

I has been unfortunate that we have had an extended dry spell after I sowed the seed. I have been watering regularly but the grass is very sparse and patchy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Drought Resistant Dry Soils Grass Seed. We're sorry to hear that you have been experiencing an extended dry spell after sowing the seed. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult for the seed to germinate and we understand your frustration with the sparse and patchy growth.
We recommend persevering with watering twice daily, ideally in the mornings before 10am and then again in the evenings. This will give the seed the best chance to thrive in these challenging conditions. We appreciate your patience and hope to see your lawn flourishing soon.

Sown late in the year but fortunately, the temperature remained > 9C for a week and the seed germinated well.
Thank you for your review. Perfect! This mild weather has worked out well for late sowings!

Seeded the lawn in mid-September, grass was showing in less than 1 week. Now a nice thick, lush lawn and only sown 5 weeks ago. By far and away the best lawn seed I've ever used. Grass Seed Online provided lots of good advice.
Hi there! We're so happy to hear that our Drought Resistant Dry Soils Grass Seed worked so well for you. It's great to know that you saw results in less than a week and now have a thick, lush lawn. We appreciate your kind words and are glad that our advice was helpful. Thank you for choosing Grass Seed Online!

Part of the new seed has germinated and looking good but another part (2metres away) shows no signs of life. Perhaps the temperature is borderline for germination.
Hi Peter,
Its fair to say that with the 'extended winter' we are having (you can't call this spring!!!) things are taking a little longer than usual to get going. If any areas are lagging behind these will normally catch up. It might be that the area that is slow to get going is a little bit damper/cooler.
Best regards,
