This cool-season grass fits naturalistic landscapes, erosion-control plantings, native meadow mixtures, and selected pasture applications where summer dormancy is acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolate fescue grows during the cool, moist season and typically becomes dark gray or tan as it enters summer dormancy. It should not be kept continuously wet during dormancy. Where summer irrigation is necessary, water deeply and infrequently—approximately once per month—rather than maintaining lawn-like moisture. For ornamental landscapes, mow or cut back after seed heads mature if a tidier appearance is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplication rates by use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLandscaping:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb per 1,000 sq ft, approximately 44 lb per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover crop or pasture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–20 lb per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative meadow mixtures:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1½ oz per 1,000 sq ft, approximately 4 lb per acre, as a component of a mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6–7 days under favorable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant height:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 12 inches with adequate seasonal rainfall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required; Molate fescue is not a legume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native landscaping, pasture, erosion control, and meadow mixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore complementary species in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/collections\/native-grass-seed\"\u003eNative Grass Seed Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544019591281,"sku":"SCG065","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/molate-fescue-native-grass-seed-lb.jpg?v=1747084335","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/molate-fescue-native-grass-lb","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
