Shade Blend grass seed is specially cultivated for increased tolerance in shady areas. It is a durable mixture of Fescues that will keep your lawn looking full, thick, and ready for play. Our Shade blend seed is a great selection for pets and children active in shady areas. The composition of our Shade Blend is 90% Tall Fescue and 10% Fine Fescues. Its mixture of Fine Fescues is what gives our Shade Blend increased shade tolerance. Its Tall Fescue characteristics help it maintain its deep rooting system, drought tolerance, improved wear and tear recovery, and disease resistance.
Our Shade Blend grass seed is the same high-quality, farm-grade seed used to grow our Shade Blend sod at our farm. We are boasting the highest germination rates for Tall Fescue and Fine Fescues currently available in California. Shade blend grass seed helps any fescue lawn with sun and shade areas where the fescue previously might have had issues.

When using grass seed, we always recommend using the seeding volume recommendations given. You can spread the seed with multiple applications saving a couple of pounds for overseeding. Always use a spreader to ensure proper coverage.
Check each sod mixture for coverage as each type of sod has varying amounts of seed recommended per square foot. Remember to be patient as different types of seeds germinate at different rates, sometimes with weeks in the difference of germination. Germination rates vary by seed type and conditions, so plan on giving your seed a couple of months to germinate.
