Johnsons Lawn Seed Shady Place

Johnsons Lawn Seed Shady Place

Johnsons Lawn Seed Shady 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 20–25g 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 10–14 days).
4. First Mow: Cut when grass reaches 5–8cm, 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.
