Shade-Tolerant Sod
About
For most Floridians, a shade-tolerant St. Augustine or Zoysia cultivar is
the best choice. There are shade-loving varieties like ryegrass and
fescue, but they don’t handle Florida’s heat well and are best applied for short-term use in the fall and winter months.

What to expect
Three to four hours of sun a day is still necessary for even the best grasses for shade.
