Morphology
The phrase's meaning is a straightforward composition of its parts: 'creeping' describes a spreading growth habit, 'soft' describes texture, and 'grass' names the plant, so the overall concept of a low-growing, soft-textured grass is directly derivable. This adjective + adjective + noun pattern is morphologically and semantically transparent and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Creeping soft grass comes from how the plant creeps by sending long stems that slowly spread across the ground and how its soft leaves feel like velvet. So the words describe a low grass that spreads quietly and feels gentle underfoot.
