Shade Grass Seed Mix is formulated to provide a maximum level of tolerance to limited sunlight. The Fine Fescues are recognized to be the most shade tolerant of the cool-season turf grasses. The premium varieties used in this mix exhibit improved disease resistance and darker green color. This mix is recommended for areas with 25-65% reduced sunlight (at least 4 hours per day is recommended) and will also provide good turf in areas of shade to sun transition. The Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass increase the traffic and wear tolerance of this mix.
