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.
- Formulated for drought prone, sandy soils
- Saves on watering during dry spells
- Contains the deep rooting, drought tolerant tall fescue

- Sowing rate = 35-50g per m² (20kg will cover 400-570m²)

This is really high quality grass seed. Arrived really quickly and packaged really well. Once I put the seed down, it germinated really quick, and has already established itself beautifully. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks so much for your repeat order! Great to hear you were so pleased with the results the first time around — hope the second round is just as impressive!

Purchased the drought resistant grass seed from these guys turned up with super efficient delivery. On the grass seed has germinated even in the drought weather okay We had two days of rain after sowing it and okay we have had to water it with watering cans because of the hose pipe ban but now 40 days later, we have a green lawn it really did germinate that quickly
Thank you so much for your positive review! We are thrilled to hear that our drought resistant grass seed worked well for you, even in the challenging weather conditions. Our team takes pride in providing efficient delivery and high-quality products. Happy gardening!

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!

Judging by previous customer reviews I’m assuming this product must be excellent which is why I made the purchase, however the period of rain predicted when I sowed the grass did not materialise, and together with the unforeseen extreme hot weather has meant that unfortunately, absolutely none of the grass seed has germinated despite our best efforts.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Unfortunately, the recent lack of rainfall can have a significant impact on seed germination. The good news is that once we receive some rainfall, the seed should begin to germinate and develop, helping you achieve a healthy, lush lawn before long.
If you have any questions or would like advice on watering, germination, or ongoing lawn care, please don't hesitate to get in touch – we're always happy to help.

Easy and fast👍

The service from this business was superb , quick delivery and a range of grasses to suit all environments. However I can’t review the actual product apart from saying it was sown two weeks ago and there is now a faint green tinge to the area as the seed is germinating. It has needed copious watering due to being sown a week prior to our unexpected and intense heatwave! We won’t know how good it is for the dry/poor soil area for at least another six months, but 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad you're happy with our service and the seed germination is promising. Fingers crossed for great results in the coming months. Let us know if you need any further assistance!

Delighted with the grass seed . It has sprouted,despite being sown quite late, in mid- November.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so happy to hear that you're delighted with our drought resistant dry soils grass seed. We're also glad to hear that it has sprouted, even when sown late in the season. We appreciate your support and hope your lawn continues to thrive.

Had a trial with it by seeding just a small area. Excellent results.
I would recommend.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Drought Resistant Dry Soils Grass Seed. We are thrilled to hear that you had excellent results with just a small area seeded. Thank you for your recommendation - it means a lot to us.

Prompt delivery in early October. Germination was relatively fast at just over a week, with what seems like a high germination rate. Time will tell next summer as to whether this drought seed mix is superior to standard garden centre stuff. Germinated better than the standard stuff, so that’s a good sign. Birds didn’t seem to have a big impact and certainly no more than the garden centre variety with their anti bird claims.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Drought Resistant Dry Soils Grass Seed. We are so happy to hear that the germination was quick and that you had a high success rate. We hope that this seed mix will continue to perform well for you during the summer. It's great to hear that the birds didn't have a big impact either. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to continue providing you with quality products in the future.

Sowed seed late September in a dry spell and it seemed the grass was not going to grow so we watered the seed daily and it sprung up. Really pleased with product.
Thank you for leaving a review for our Drought Resistant Dry Soils Grass Seed. We're so glad to hear that the grass eventually grew despite the dry spell and that you were pleased with the product. Our team works hard to provide quality seeds that can thrive even in tough conditions. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to bring you a lush and resilient lawn. Happy gardening!

I’m pleased and surprised at how well the re-seeding/over seeding turned out. The real test may come next year if there is another drought
Thank you for your review. We're so glad to hear that you were both pleased and surprised with the results of our Drought Resistant Dry Soils Grass Seed. We hope that it continues to thrive for you, even in the face of potential future droughts. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Grass seed did not grow

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,
