Why Youβll Love It
A beautiful lawn. Less mowing.
Earthwise Low Grow blends soft fine fescues with White Dutch and Red Carpet clovers for a natural lawn that suits a less frequent mowing routine.
Start by adding seed to the lawn you already have, or establish a new lawn on prepared soil. The grasses provide fine-bladed texture while clover adds leafy coverage and seasonal flowers.
Choose the appearance that suits your yard: occasional mowing creates a neater lawn, while longer growth develops a softer, more relaxed look.
Where It Grows Best
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
- Best Uses: Residential lawns, lightly to moderately used outdoor spaces, and natural lawn areas
- Soil: A prepared seedbed with good drainage and reliable moisture during establishment
- Earthwise Climate Regions: Listed for all regions in our guide; planting timing, summer performance, and watering needs vary with local conditions
Fine fescues are cool-season grasses. Hot, dry sites may need additional irrigation, and dense shade can reduce the clover component.
Explore our regional planting guide.
Composition
| Component | Included Seeds |
|---|---|
| EcoSeed fine fescues | Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, Sheep Fescue |
| Clovers | White Dutch Clover, Red Carpet Clover |
Together, these grasses and clovers create a mixed lawn with fine texture, seasonal flowering, and lower maintenance.
Planting & Care
Adding Seed to an Existing Lawn
Mow the existing grass lower without scalping it, remove clippings and debris, and rake to expose soil between the grass. Spread seed at the recommended overseeding rate and gently press it into contact with the soil.
Overseeding introduces new plants alongside your existing grass. Results depend on preparation, growing conditions, and competition from the lawn already in place.
Starting on Bare Soil
Remove weeds and competing vegetation. Lightly loosen and smooth the soil, broadcast seed at the recommended bare-soil rate, and gently press it into the surface.
Watering
Keep the seeded surface evenly moist while grass and clover germinate and establish. As roots develop, gradually transition to deeper, less frequent watering. Supplemental water may still be needed during prolonged heat or drought.
Choosing Your Coverage
Bare-soil planting requires more seed per square foot than overseeding an existing lawn.
See our Overseeding Guide and Alternative Lawn Planting Instructions for step-by-step help.
What to Expect
Germination & Coverage
Allow approximately 2β5 weeks for mixed emergence under suitable conditions. Clover and fine fescues can sprout at different times.
Early growth is followed by gradual thickening. Allow 1β2 growing seasons for a mature mixed lawn, with occasional reseeding where needed.
Less Mowing. More Enjoying.
Low Grow combines fine fescues with White Dutch and Red Carpet clovers for a soft, natural lawn designed for less frequent mowing.
Enjoy the cloverβs seasonal flowers and pollinator benefits, or give the lawn an occasional trim for a neater finish. For a maintained lawn, aim for a mowing height around 3β4 inches.

This grows where Iβve never been able to grow grass before!
Planted my low grow seed 2 months ago, and it's doing fantastic! Has filled in my septic field. Thank you so much Earthwise
6 months in, and I am very happy with my choice. Friends are a bit taken aback by the nontraditional appearance of my yard, but it suits me just fine!
It's growing! Even on the slope I didn't seed tac. (I ran out of the seed tac before I got to the slope) It isn't growing well in the dryest part of my yard. I'm in Illinois.
The best, this stuff is really good!! I had 90% success rate in a large area of course with prior soil fertilization and daily watering until established.
Directions were clear and the seeds are sprouting!
Within 2 weeks of sowing this on bare soil, I already have a clearly filling in lawn! Iβm elated! I tried for a year to get something to grow and this is the only thing thatβs held up!
After our lawn care people talked me into a "treatment" program for my lawn we were left with NOTHING growing and a sandy base for the lawn. We spent almost a year trying to get anything to grow. After trying the Low Grow Alternative Lawn Mix we have ground covering coming in again. Thank you so much.
Seedlings started to come up in 7 days and are doing very well. I expect to seed again in spring and am really looking forward to changing all my grass areas to a natural lawn.
When I prepped and seeded my lawn area and kept it watered every day, it sprouted in less than 5 days. I continue to water it for 15 minutes every day to get it established. Iβm excited to see the results in the next 2-3 weeks.
I'm new to this lawn alternative. Im anxious to see some results. I definitely have a problem patch, 2 dogs and live in NC, so HOT, HOT.HOT. I will say that customer service is EXCELLENT. I fired of a quick question not expecting an answer and within the hour I was having a very informative back & forth. So far very good! Im excited!
The seed package arrived very promptly and the alternative lawn started to sprout within a couple of days. It's now been about 4 weeks since I first sowed them, and the lawn has come through very green but a bit patchy. I had to buy more to sow on the bare packages. This may be because I didn't fully follow the instructions though, since I don't have access to a lawn roller, and there was a period in the first week where I was unable to water the lawn and the weather was dry. Overall though, I'm impressed with the company and will try some of their other products in the future.
My goal in purchasing this seed was to prevent invasive plants from taking over a new area. I have grass and clover in colors as high as 9β and it has prevented the other weeds and plants from taking over. The bunnies and I are very satisfied.
Germinated fast (about 10 days) and filled in nicely. Looks thick and healthy, and I sprinkled wildflower seeds in with it so I now have a pollinator garden!
Easy germination & growing well in Piedmont NC in late fallβ¦
It seems to be coming up fairly good. Would love to see it fill in better as it matures though. So far it's definitely shorter than our existing grass, which was what we wanted...
Great mix to incorporate clover into existing grass. Also great way to convert entire lawn to clover. Proactive environmental strategy
I planted my 1st test area and watered daily. Sprouts surfaced in less than a week. The plot is thriving. Can't wait to see it in the spring, I will be planting much more!
The deer eat the clover and leave the grass!
quick shipping and solid germination. Birds also seemed to like the product, and the rabbits are going crazy for the clover (unintentional outcomes, but fun!)
I am seeing some clover coming. We had a lot of rain early in spring, but very little since. Maybe I'm not watering enough. Very difficult to see at this point.
Petite seed bags.
Looks like what I ordered, now I'll see if I can get it to grow!!!
Followed directions. Water applied daily by hose or rain. After three weeks, no sign of any grass.
