Looking for a particular lawn seed

Last year I began a lawn using High Country Garden's Low Work and Low water dwarf fescue seed. I need to finish the lawn and though HCG still lists the seed on their website, it is currently unobtainable. A phone call to them several weeks ago said try again about now. I just sent them an email, and my own email appeared immediately in my inbox as if it had been sent by them.

Does anyone know this seed mix and where I can buy the exact same stuff? It really was great and needed mowing only every 3-5 weeks. A huge plus for me.

The only way to get the exact same blend without actually buying it from HCG would be to look at the tag on the bag and determine what cultivars it contained, then source those cultivars. This may be impossible as some seeds aren't readily available, or they are part of a proprietary blend exclusive to HCG. That seed sounds similar to one of the Marathon blends, a tall fescue blend that is commonly used in southern California. Marathon II and III are composed of dwarf cultivars (see link below).
