Is there such a thing as shady place grass?

I have tried two different brands of seed now for an area of supposed
lawn shaded by a couple of larger trees. Both grew initially but then died.


It depends how shady, and whether the shade is wet or dry. But few
grasses tolerate more than slight shade, in a gloomy climate like
the UK. There are other plants that will make an adequate lawn that
would do better - mostly ones that grow as lawn weeds!
