SS6000 Shady Mixture

 

 

SS6000 is SeedSuperStore’s premium Northern shade mixture, designed for cool-season lawns where limited sunlight makes growing exceptional turf more challenging.

 

It combines three elite fine fescues with shade-tolerant Mazama Kentucky bluegrass to create a fine-textured, attractive lawn with outstanding shade tolerance, adaptability, and lower-input performance.

 

 

An elite fine fescue with excellent shade tolerance, drought resistance, summer density, and turf quality.

 

Selected for excellent performance in shade and challenging growing conditions, with strong turf quality, drought performance, and improved traffic tolerance.

 

Fine-textured hard fescue that adds resilience, drought tolerance, and excellent performance under lower-input conditions.

 

An exceptionally dark-green Kentucky bluegrass with outstanding shade performance, adding density, rich color, wear tolerance, and the self-repairing ability of Kentucky bluegrass.

 

We evaluate cultivars using independent performance data, including the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) and university turfgrass research.

 

We also evaluate the quality of the actual seed lots used in SS6000—including germination, purity, weed seed, other crop seed, and current seed-test results.

 

By combining three complementary fine fescues with elite Kentucky bluegrass, SS6000 delivers the shade tolerance of fine fescue with the color, density, and recovery of Kentucky bluegrass.

 

Overseeding rate: 2-4 lbs./1,000 sq. ft., depending on the condition of the turf
