SHADY LAWN Grass Seed Mixture (Cool Season Zones 1-3)

As much as 25% of lawn grasses are grown in the shade.  Growing grass in shade is best achieved by selecting grasses that exhibit shade tolerance and by using different cultural practices related to water, fertilizer, mowing height and removal of leaves and tree limbs.  This seed mixture of cool season grasses is formulated to be shade tolerant and establish quickly with improved turf density. Fine Fescue defines a group of grasses that originated in Europe with similar characteristics.  The three most prominent fine fescues species are Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue and Hard Fescue.  They all exhibit very thin blades with exceptional shade tolerance.  Fine fescue grasses are popular in lawn seed mixtures with Kentucky Bluegrass and/or Perennial Ryegrass .  This seed mixture consists primarily of fine fescue grasses.  All 5 turfgrass varieties in this mixture have been tested in turfgrass trials with excellent results.  CLICK HERE to download Shady Lawn Grass Seed Mixture techni
