Give your lawn the lush, green coverage it deserves, even in the shadiest areas, with our Green Thumb Dense Shade Premium Coated Grass Seed Mixture. This expertly blended mix combines Turf-Type Tall Fescues, Perennial and Annual Ryegrasses, and Kentucky Bluegrass, all sourced from premium Oregon and Idaho growers, with a high germination rate and minimal weed seed content. Enhanced with a Water Saver Seed Coating, it retains moisture for faster, more consistent germination, making it ideal for dense shade, north-facing slopes, and areas under trees. Perfect for new lawns or overseeding, this mix establishes quickly, tolerates foot traffic, and creates a resilient, thick turf that thrives in low-light conditions. Certified quality, superior shade performance, and easy maintenance make it the top choice for homeowners seeking a vibrant, healthy lawn where sunlight is limited.
