I have hardly any experience in establishing grass in the shade but will relay what I read on a package.
I had a few small patches in my yard under big trees that had added some dirt to make it drain better. Of course needed to seed some grass. This was last spring.
In the big box store, they had a display with some grass seed that was mostly some sort of potting soil with a little of numerous kinds of seed mixed in. The point is in the description of the different seeds, it called some of them suitable for shady areas and some for sunny areas.
We were also at a nursery and they had small bags of fescue. One pile said for sunny areas and the other pile of small bags said for shaded. Two different types/varieties.
What I am trying to get at in a long winded explanation for something simple, is that there obviously are different varieties needed that do well in shade.
What varieties I don't know.
Why was it again I was typing??????
Hope this in some twisted way helps.
