Positive Krefting On May 5, 2006, Krefting from Skiatook, OK wrote:

Beautiful grass that doesn't want to be mowed, watered and wants only a little fertilizer. Good lawn turf that crowds out weeds because it's tall and it doesn't want much water (an 1" a month). Occassional non-allergenic seed heads if watered or fertilized too much. Lawn color is more blueish green than dark green. Handles OK heat in full sun.
