A lawn that doesn’t panic when it doesn’t rain for a week. Suchmix is a BIOVITA lawn grass seed mixture for dry, sunny areas and sandy, nutrient-poor soils. Deep-rooted species tolerate periodic water shortages well, regenerate quickly and form a dense, carpet-like lawn that withstands intensive use. A 5 kg bag covers approximately 165–200 m² of lawn.

What makes this product stand out
Suchmix is formulated for challenging conditions: plenty of sun, little water and sandy, nutrient-poor soil. The grass germinates quickly and—most importantly—develops deep roots, allowing it to reach water where ordinary mixtures can no longer find any. As a result, it tolerates periodic water shortages well, then regenerates quickly after drought and returns to its carpet-like appearance.
Perennial ryegrass dominates the composition (50%), providing a fast start and good resistance to trampling, while fescues account for as much as 45%—red fescue, hard fescue and deep-rooted tall fescue, species that are naturally the most economical in their use of water. The addition of Kentucky bluegrass thickens the turf with rhizomes and helps fill in bare patches. Certified seeds from the Polish producer BIOVITA.
How to use it step by step
Soil preparation: Remove weeds, stones and roots, dig to spade depth and level with a rake. Add sand to heavy soils and compost or mature topsoil to very light soils. Leave the soil for 1–2 weeks to settle, then rake it again 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 to ensure good soil contact. Water with a gentle stream every day so that the top layer remains constantly moist until emergence (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, cutting no more than 1/3 of the blade height. After 4–6 weeks from emergence, you can apply the first lawn fertiliser.
Uses
Choose Suchmix for a full-sun lawn, a sandy allotment, slopes and embankments that dry out quickly, and gardens without automatic irrigation. It also performs well on intensively used recreational lawns and green spaces. It is a good choice for overseeding areas where ordinary grass “burns” brown every summer. For shaded areas under trees, choose Cieńmix.
Gardener’s tip
Grass builds drought resistance through its roots, and the roots develop during the first season. After emergence, don’t water a little every day—instead, switch to less frequent but more abundant watering (once every few days, until the soil is moist to a depth of 10–15 cm). The grass will learn to seek water deeper down and will then truly withstand July heat without a sprinkler.
