STEADFAST: Ultra Shade is the ultimate solution for lawns with permanent shade where grass is struggling to grow. Our specialised mix contains high-quality grass varieties designed for use in very shaded areas where the sun is blocked by walls, high-rise fences or where light levels are particularly low. This mixture contains the exceptionally shade-tolerant grass super species Poa Supina which is renowned for its ability to grow in relatively no / low light. This mixture is best sown from May to end of summer as the fescues require warm soil to germinate.
Important Note: Due to supply issues caused by current circumstances we have ran out of 2KG branded bags. Until we receive our new bags, we are using plain white bags for all our 2KG mixtures. Don’t worry, they are still filled with our high-quality product!

● Sow the seed at our recommended rate of 35g per m2, by using a seed spreader or your hand
● Rake the seed in after sowing so that the seed is in amongst the soil
● Firm down by foot or by using a roller to improve seed to soil contact
● Water the just-sown seed well
Sowing a new lawn
● Dig the soil over to a depth of 20-25cm
● Remove weeds by hand or use a weed killer

Aftercare
● Continue to water your lawn deeply and daily for the next six weeks, avoiding if there is prolonged rainfall
