20kg Grass Seed Mix for Shaded and Drought Conditions
This mixture was developed for ornamental lawns. A high proportion of its species spread vegetatively through rhizomes, giving the mix an excellent ability to fill in and form a fine, dense and attractive sward. Its cultivars tolerate both drought and shade, so it suits areas that are difficult to maintain.
The mix also copes with a range of soil types, helping it look good all year round in many different situations.

- Spread the seed evenly at the recommended sowing rate, to a depth of around 10 mm.
- Keep the surface moist for a minimum of 2 - 3 weeks.
- Take the first cut once the grass has reached 5 - 6 cm in height and tillering has begun.
Overseeding
- Prepare the existing turf by clearing excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser.
- Apply at the recommended overseeding rate.
- A disc seeder or a studded seed roller will give the best results.
