Bolero Plus™ is a proprietary (Delta Bluegrass Co.) blend that is 90% dwarf fescue and 10% bluegrass. It is a cool season grass with a fine bluegrass-like texture that stays dark-green year-round. Bolero Plus™ can take high impact foot traffic. It is drought tolerant and low maintenance as it is slower growing with fewer clippings. Fertilize in February–March and in July–August.
