Visible growth typically appears within 7-14 days, with the lawn becoming established over the following weeks.
While it's specially formulated for shade, it can be used for overseeding or creating a new lawn anywhere. However, its key advantage is its performance in low-light conditions.
Yes, Pro-Kleen Grass Seed is formulated with natural ingredients and does not contain harsh chemicals, making it safe for family use.
For new lawns, use approximately 35g per square meter. For overseeding existing lawns, use around 25g per square meter.
It is crucial to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period. Water gently but frequently during dry spells until the grass is well-established.
The ideal times to sow are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), which generally offer suitable moisture and temperature conditions for germination in the UK.
While it will grow in full sun, it is specifically optimized for shaded conditions. For full sun areas, other grass seed varieties might offer superior performance.
Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist, not waterlogged. Check that seeds are in good contact with the soil and have not been washed away. Verify that the temperature is suitable for germination.
Ensure even distribution of seed and adequate soil preparation. Light levels may still be too low in certain spots; consider trimming overhanging branches if possible.
Check if the grass is receiving enough light for its needs. Ensure regular, but not excessive, watering and consider a light application of a balanced lawn feed in spring.
Ensure the seedbed was as free of weeds as possible before sowing. Once the grass is established (around 6 weeks), you can use a selective weed killer, or hand-weed.
