does this really grow shorter than grass?

I'd say yes. i usually keep my grass 2.5 - 3". I'm really happy with this mixed in with my grass. I'll try to add a pic.

Truly depends on plants & doing specific growth . red grows -blue moonlight slowed & green picks up algge growth etc..

Higher than 4 inches. Possibly higher. I mow my lawn at 4" (3" in Fall just before putting my lawn and garden to bed for the winter) and it's always high enough to mow a little off the top. I haven't allowed my grass to get higher than...5" or 6", so I don't know if it'll grow higher than that or not. My regular grass grew to four feet while I was vacation, but this grass you're asking about hadn't been planted at that time, but I'm guessing it's the same as any other grass other than it grows well in DENSE shade.

This grass is better than Scott's. I had a patch of ground with no grass. Scotts did not grow but this grass did.

No it will not because my growing season is not long enough. It's just ornamental.

Not sure but I was very happy with how it grew. Planted about 2 months ago and I have a thick lush area where I planted, about 100sq ft of bare land.

I over seeded an area of my lawn with black beauty. It came up fine. The lawn is softer where I added black beauty. It grows well in normal areas. I would not use it in an area that is shaded or difficult to grow grass in.

Best height for grass depends on the grass type, season, and weather conditions. I live in Portland OR with clay for soil. In spring in mow the lawn short ~ 1" to allow sun light to reach the soil and promote new growth. In a few weeks the lawn with start to fill in and I gradually raise the mower higher. My goal is to have maximum height by July to help crowd out weeds and preserve moisture. Also the higher the grass the slower it will grow assuming minimal feeding and watering. So the ideal height depends on the type of grass and the condidtions. High grass ~ 3" has a great full look, but does no recover from heavy use as well as a lower high traffic type grass. I mow my perenial rye at 2" and my new creeping fescue at 3". When I reduced watering and mowed at ~ 3" creeping fescues started to move in and replace the perenial rye; so I am going with the grass that like my soil and low maintainence philosphy.

yes it does, but only for a short while this year so far...it's been a lot colder than usual so maybe that's why we don't have as many blooms.. I'm in Southern Illinois, Zone 6

It should, that's why I am using it instead of grass. (No mowing yay!) It will be a little delicate when it first starts to grow, but once it gets going it should be fine. Here is a link with more info for uses: http://www.stepables.com/5/Sagina_subulata_Irish_Moss.html

I believe it is; however, I have not tried it yet my plant is still too small

yes, the long one was a have inch shorter. the mower wanted to move forward without petal being depressed

By no means I'm I a grass expert. However I live in Newton,Mass. and this stuff really grew well here. That's my experience, hope it helps.

Oh and before you think its ez mowing so low....its not. great lawns take great effort. When you mow like I do, at 0.5, expect to mow every other day or a few times a week when in peak growing season. Lower you mow, more often it is done. There is a great article which discusses why....and the 1/3 rule....google it

I cannot answer that question. I have used it very little, and not on new grass.

I will add that I never set my mowing height lower than half way, as cutting most grasses too short is not good for them. In such a case if you accidentally run the over the cord with the mower it will not get cut (but you should try to avoid this).

I planted this grass seed last July. It is beautiful, but it's only in partial shade so I don't know. I'd call the company and find out. They were responsive when I called re another question.
