It’s built around 65% fine fescue — three types: improved red, Chewings, and hard fescue — which give the shade tolerance the mix is named for. Improved perennial ryegrass handles the sunny exposures and adds quick establishment and wear tolerance, and a small amount of annual ryegrass provides fast early cover while the rest fills in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eThe point of the blend is uniform color across sun-to-shade transitions: in full sun the perennial ryegrass leads, in partial shade all the species share the space, and in heavy shade the fine fescues carry the stand — so you don’t get the patchy look of a single-species lawn that thrives in one light condition and fails in another. It’s also a low-input lawn: low fertilizer needs and mowing only every 10–14 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0in 2.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnderstanding the three fine fescues\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -13.5pt;
