The perfect lawn mix for shady areas where sunlight is limited. Lawn Synergy Shade Blend combines elite fine fescues with a touch of turf-type perennial ryegrass for fast germination and early color. This blend thrives in low-light environments and produces a soft, rich-green lawn with minimal maintenance.

Why Choose Lawn Synergy Shade Blend?

  • Exceptional Shade Tolerance: Fine fescues perform where other grasses struggle—under trees, between buildings, and in filtered light.
  • Quick Establishment: The Perennial ryegrass component sprouts fast, giving instant green while fescues fill in for long-term density.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires less mowing, less fertilizer, and less water once established.
  • Fine Texture & Deep Green Color: Creates a lush, carpet-like appearance even in moderate to dense shade.
  • Cool-Season Durability: Ideal for lawns in the transition and northern zones that experience cool winters and warm summers.

Recommended Use

  • Light to Moderate Shade: Areas receiving 2–6 hours of filtered sunlight per day.
  • Soil Types: Performs well in clay, loam, or sandy soils with good drainage.
  • Best Time to Seed: Fall or early spring when soil temperatures are 50–70°F.

Ideal Regions

Best suited for the Transition Zone and Northern U.S. (including NC, VA, KY, TN, OH, and the Mid-Atlantic). Not recommended for full-sun southern lawns or heavy foot-traffic areas.

Perfect For

  • Lawns shaded by large trees
  • North-facing yards and between houses
  • Low-maintenance naturalized turf areas

Frequently Asked

Will this grow in full shade?

It thrives in moderate to dense shade (2–6 hours of filtered light). Even shade-tolerant grasses need some light to survive.

Is this a cool-season or warm-season blend?

Cool-season. It performs best in fall, winter, and spring, and may slow growth during extreme summer heat in the South.

Can I mix this with tall fescue?

Yes. For lawns with mixed sun and shade, blending with tall fescue helps fill sunnier spots while fine fescues dominate shaded areas.

When is the best time to plant?

Early fall (September–October) or early spring (March–April) when soil temps are 50–70°F.

What type of fertilizer should I use?

Use a starter such as Lawn Synergy 15-20-10 Starter Fertilizer for seeding, then maintain with slow-release formulations like 10-0-20 Emerald for color and stress protection.
