STEADFAST: Shade - All Questions
Hello, we have a mostly flat lawn with a bank of around 12m along one side. The lawn is north facing and in shade for some of the day. Unsurprisingly the bank has reverted to mostly moss which we intend to rake out. Does this sound like something the Steadfast mix would be suitable for?

Thank you for your question. Yes, for any areas affected by shade, the best options are our Steadfast: Shade and Steadfast: Ultra Shade mixes. The former is perfect for areas which receive partial shade throughout the day whilst the Ultra Shade mix is for areas that receive little to no light, often described as a blocked permanent shade. Steadfast: Ultra Shade contains a super species called Poa Supina which is exceptionally shade tolerant.
We would advise that these mixes are sown when the weather is warmer, late spring and summer. Due to the lack of sunlight they rely heavily on the warmer temperatures to assist germination. These will be slower to establish than some of our other mixes but once grown you won't have to worry about those dark spots anymore.
