The Shady Sun Lawn Seed is formulated for partial shade and filtered sunlight (3–6 hours daily). The ryegrass establishes quickly, while Kentucky Bluegrass provides dense, shade-tolerant coverage that thrives even in lower light conditions.
How much seed do I need to sow?
Use 3–5 kg per 100 m². Prepare the soil by removing weeds, lightly raking, and ensuring good seed-to-soil contact. Keep the area moist until germination (7–14 days).
When and how should I mow my new lawn?
Begin mowing when the grass reaches 6–8 cm high. Maintain at 25–40 mm for a dense, soft finish. Avoid heavy foot traffic until your lawn is fully established for best results.
