County Shade

If the health of your turf is an issue in shaded areas, County Shade provides the solution. This medium texture, low-maintenance turf is grown using grass cultivars which flourish in a shaded environment. It is grown for a minimum of 18 months before harvesting.

County Shade is suitable for use in municipal gardens, shaded landscapes and lawns, all recreational areas and on golf tees and racecourses.

S.T.R.I. CULTIVAR PROFILE

Supina Bluegrass

  • Lateral above ground stems (Stolons) grow outwards from the main plant reproducing more shoots as it develops, enabling the plant to repair itself in a continuous manner.
  • Native to Alpine areas, it is the last grass to fall into dormancy and the first to actively grow in the spring.
  • County Shade has been specifically produced to flourish under the changing climate.
  • Maintains excellent winter colour.
