Jenny Stanley I have this grass. It looks like "No-mow grass" a fescue variety. I bought my seed from prairie nursery. You can find them online.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Natural Garden Style
You may not have a large yard, but that doesn't mean you can't have a meadow view. No-mow and low-mow grasses are designed to clump softly in waves, like those found in a wide expanse of open grasses, though I've heard them described as looking like the ocean or hair. Think four times a year rather than two times a week for mowing, and these grasses are generally drought tolerant. Low maintenance and natural — what's not to love?
