Crocker Blend Grass Seed
Cape Cod is a challenging area to grow a lawn, so early on we decided to blend the best seed
combinations for you to be successful.
Crocker’s Cape Cod Mix is blended for us, with a higher perennial rye fescue blend and 20% blue grass. Several of the grasses in the mix are endophydic (which means they excrete an enzyme in the crown of the plant that repel insects--bill bugs, chinch bugs, grubs don’t like it).
Pro Tall Fescue mix is fine bladed, good turf quality that is very drought resistant. Mature plants can have roots 4ft deep! This blend is excellent for high traffic areas or athletic use.
Pro Low Maintenance blend is primarily hard fescue or sheep fescue. This will take sun or shade and only grows about 4-6” high, so it needs very little mowing. This makes it a great blend for seasonal properties.
