Description

While designed for deep-shaded areas, this mix requires at least 2 hours of sunlight daily. The fescues and bluegrasses are shade tolerant and blend very well together. Mix formulations are subject to change without notice depending on the availability of existing and new products. While the formula may change, the guiding philosophy and function of the mix will not.
