Here is a direct quote from their website. " Maintain EMPIRE at 1-2"
Heights above 2" will reduce quality
Can be maintained at heights of 1/2" if regularly mowed with a reel mower
Rotary mowers are preferred for heights 1" or higher
Reel mowers are preferred for heights below 1"

Is someone mowing their Empire at 2 inches or less with success at TV ?

Just Curious.

Cutting higher forces roots to go deeper and perhaps survive drought conditions.
