Description
It’s not surprising that JS16 Supershade is one of our most popular grass seed mixes, because it is such a great all-rounder. Depended upon by groundsmen, gardeners and landscapers all over the UK, our Supershade formulation has almost magical properties when it comes to adapting to very shady areas and the associated stresses of dry, compacted soils with lower nutrient availability.
The secret of Supershade’s success is that we have added POA Supina seed into the mix – one of the most shade tolerant and hard-wearing grass species available.
While no grass can grow in darkness, Supershade comes close, being able to withstand extremely shaded areas for prolonged periods. On the bright side, this super mix is just as happy in full sunlight with its fescue and meadow grass ingredients.
This means you can sow Supershade seed with confidence across a whole area, in shadowy tree margins and the shade cast by fences or buildings, and it will stay green and dense through a long active season.

Good quality seed and germinated well. I planted it in some sunny areas and some shaded areas in Sep 2020 and it has taken well. A bit early to see the full results, as it hasn’t really had a full season yet but it looks promising.

We are a professional garden services company and we recently discovered this supplier of seeds and turf and decided to give hem a go. Their customer service is excellent and their products are nothing but up to the game. we’ve been using them for a year or so now and can’t complain about one thing!
regarding this specific product we use it regularly where we struggle with light and it’s the best supina-based mix we used so far. Despite their honesty in not advising it in overly moist condition highlighting eventual higher susceptibility of supina to fungal disease this is also the most resistant strain we ever used by a long shot. Highly recommended if you dont have light enough for a ‘normal’ lawn
