More About the Mixture:  Dwarf Ryegrass is a specifically bred strain of Perennial Ryegrass, selected for its ability to produce a thicker sward than a standard Ryegrass species and its shorter growth habits.  Strong Creeping Red Fescue has creeping rhizomes. Rhizomes are a network of roots that live under the surface of the ground they typically grow horizontally, rather than vertically. Rhizomes often give the plant a higher chance of survival in tough environmental conditions. This species of grass has a more vigorous creeping habit than some similar species which helps to create a dense, hardwearing lawn. The shallow roots help it to remain green even in the driest of soils.
