Johnsons Lawn SeedShady Place is expertly blended for areas where sunlight is limited, such as under trees, beside walls, or in north-facing gardens. This specially formulated seed mix includes shade-tolerant grass varieties such as fescue and browntop bent, which thrive in reduced light conditions where traditional seed mixtures struggle. The result is a fine, dense, and visually appealing lawn that performs even in shaded environments.

Whether you’re establishing a new lawn or rejuvenating an existing one in a shaded area, Shady Place provides a lush, green solution with enhanced durability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Application Instructions

1. Soil Preparation: Remove debris, weeds, and moss. Rake to create a fine tilth and firm the soil surface.
2. Sowing Rate: Use 2025g per square metre. Apply evenly across the prepared area.
3. Aftercare: Rake lightly and water gently but thoroughly. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs (usually within 1014 days).
4. First Mow: Cut when grass reaches 58cm, using a high setting. Mowing too short may reduce performance in shade.
5. Ongoing Maintenance: Water during dry spells and mow regularly at a higher setting to encourage deeper roots and denser growth.
