What makes this product stand out

Cieńmix is a mixture prepared for areas with limited sunlight – under trees, in orchards and beside north-facing walls of buildings. It contains species that tolerate restricted access to light and tiller strongly, so instead of sparse, elongated tufts, you get dense, intensely green turf. A Cieńmix lawn does not require abundant watering or frequent mowing – grass grows more slowly in the shade, and the soil dries out more slowly.

The base is Grasslands Nui perennial ryegrass (70%) – a variety with fast germination and dense tillering that quickly covers the soil and helps prevent moss. Red fescue (20%) and hard fescue (10%) are among the most shade-tolerant lawn grasses: fine-leaved species that tolerate the poor, drier soils found under trees, where tree roots compete for water. Certified seeds from the Polish producer BIOVITA.

How to use it step by step

Soil preparation: Weed the area, remove stones and roots, dig to spade depth and level with a rake. Add sand to heavy soils and compost or mature soil to very light soils. Leave the soil for 1–2 weeks to settle, then rake it once more and lightly roll it.

Sowing: Sow on a windless day when the soil is moist but not muddy. Divide the seeds into two portions and sow them crosswise (once lengthwise and once crosswise) by hand or with a spreader, at a rate of approx. 2.5–3 kg per 100 m². When overseeding bare patches in an existing lawn, approx. 1–1.5 kg per 100 m² is sufficient.

Covering and watering: Cover the seeds shallowly (approx. 0.5–1 cm) by gently raking them in, then roll or tread the area so they have good contact with the soil. Water with a fine stream every day so that the top layer remains constantly moist until germination (usually 7–21 days, depending on the species and weather).

First mowing: When the grass reaches approx. 8–10 cm, mow it for the first time to a height of 5–6 cm using sharp blades. Afterwards, mow regularly, removing no more than 1/3 of the blade height. After 4–6 weeks from germination, you can apply the first lawn fertiliser.

Uses

Sow Cieńmix under tree canopies, in an orchard, on the north side of the house and along tall hedges, as well as in shaded playgrounds and green spaces. It is also excellent for overseeding bare patches that develop in an existing lawn as trees grow. Remember that no grass grows in deep, all-day shade – in such places, ground-cover plants such as ivy or pachysandra will perform better.

Gardener's tip

Mow a shady lawn higher than the rest of the garden – at 6–8 cm instead of 4–5 cm. Longer blades have a larger leaf surface, so they “catch” more of the limited light that filters through the tree canopies. In autumn, rake up leaves regularly: a layer of fallen leaves smothers the grass and encourages moss, which is already abundant in the shade.
