Poa Supina Shade Grass

Supranova Poa Supina

Supranova Poa Supina is the elite shade grass for dense shade in cool season areas. This is the best primo shade lawn grass on market today. It is specially designed for deep shade and little water although it has been used for golf courses, lawns, and athletic field turf for over twenty years. Supranova Poa Supina shade grass has been developed over the last 20 years and the breeding keeps improving.

No other species outperforms this variety in the shade. It grows where no grass has grown before. It’s wear tolerance and aggressive growth make it ideal high maintenance and high wear areas. Today supranova shade grass is the most shade tolerant, wear resistant, cool season grass on the market today.

Poa Supina is well adapted to cold temperatures and is found commonly in the sub-alpine regions of the German and Austrian Alps. In Germany, the common name is Lägerrispe, which means, "where the cows lay". The name is a reflection of the ability of Poa Supina to persist and even thrive on cattle trails, even in shaded woodland areas. Another attractive asset is the apparent resistance of Poa Supina to many diseases which results in fewer fungicide applications. Unfortunately, the cost of Poa Supina seed is quite high; therefore, the practicality of seeding monostands of the grass is often economically unfeasible. Evidence from Germany suggests relatively low rates (e.g., less than 10%) of Poa Supina seed can be mixed with other cool season grasses and after several years of heavy traffic the stand will be predominantly Poa Supina, providing superior cover compared to stands without Poa Supina.
