There are several slow-growing, water saving hybrid grasses available to the landscape contractor. These grasses can help the contractor supply turf for their clients, while reducing watering needs to match tighter irrigation restrictions.
Pearl's Premium, is a slow-growing, drought-resistant blend of seven grasses that needs no chemical fertilizers, little mowing and relatively no water.
Pearl's Premium is now available at Home Depot (online only), PearlsPremium.com, 60 Whole Foods stores on the east coast and at Mahoney?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Garden Centers in Massachusetts.
According to the company, Pearl's Premium's roots grow up to a foot long, reaching deeper for nutrients and water than the two-inch roots of common bluegrass. Homeowners in the northern U.S. will seldom or never need to water it; in the drier South, it requires watering once or twice a week.
Because Pearl's Premium grows slowly, it requires mowing only about once a month in sunny areas and every six weeks in the shade.
