Ultra Shade Turfgrass Mix

Ultra Shade Turfgrass Mix

Turf production in shade is a significant challenge. Most plants need sunlight, even the components of ULTRASHADE. While tolerant to reduced light, there is still a need to carry on photosynthesis. ULTRASHADE is comprised of species that will produce a fescue dominant turf in areas with restricted sunlight. Mow at a higher cutting height for best results.
