Patch Perfect Grass Seed: Not Suited for Georgia Heat

Patch Perfect contains perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and fine fescue. Only tall fescue survives Georgia's heat and humidity; the others die in July.

Cost Analysis

At $20 per 100 sq ft, seeding a 40×20 ft area costs $160—more than sod, but sod also fails in dense shade.

Recommendation

Give up on grass under heavy shade. Use shade-tolerant groundcovers (mondo grass, liriope) and mulch. Embrace the tree.
