This mixture benefits from the inclusion of the shade tolerant SUPREME Poa supina which also tolerates wear. These properties make A6 ideal for problem shade areas under trees and building surrounds. Use a pre-seed fertiliser prior to sowing to provide good nutrient levels and relieve compaction to aid establishment.
