As much as 25% of lawn grasses are grown in the shade.  Growing grass in shade is best achieved by selecting grasses that exhibit shade tolerance and by using different cultural practices related to water, fertilizer, mowing height and removal of leaves and tree limbs.  This seed mixture of cool season grasses is formulated to be shade tolerant and establish quickly with improved turf density.

Fine Fescue defines a group of grasses that originated in Europe with similar characteristics.  The three most prominent fine fescues species are Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue and Hard Fescue.  They all exhibit very thin blades with exceptional shade tolerance.  Fine fescue grasses are popular in lawn seed mixtures with Kentucky Bluegrass and/or Perennial Ryegrass .  This seed mixture consists primarily of fine fescue grasses.  All 5 turfgrass varieties in this mixture have been tested in turfgrass trials with excellent results.

Super fun!
Size: 8.5, Color: Red Pepper
These are so fantastic! The color is amazing! It is a bit on the tomato-red side of the color-wheel. The fit is great. They are comfortable from the 1st step. Easy to walk in.

Nice so far.
Size: 6.5, Color: Molasses
Comfy. They were tight the first day across the toes but as I've worn them a couple times they are loosening up. The sole is forming to my foot. These are very much like Doc Martin's from the early 2000s. Not sure about quality since I haven't had them for very long.
