How To Use
For a New Lawn:
- Get the Ground Ready: Grab a rake and loosen up the top couple of inches of soil, clearing out any rocks or dead grass.
- Spread the Seed: Pour the product into your Scotts spreader, dial in the ""New Lawn"" setting, and apply it evenly.
- Gently Tuck it In: Lightly rake the seed into the top layer of soil. You just want it barely covered.
- Give it a Drink: This part is key. Water daily (or as needed) to keep the soil moist until the new grass is at least 2 inches tall.
For Overseeding:
- Get Your Lawn Ready: Mow your lawn nice and short (about 2 inches). Then, give it a good rake to loosen the soil and clear out any dead stuff.
- Time to Spread: Fill up your spreader, set it to the ""Overseeding"" setting, and walk at a steady pace to get even coverage.
- Just Add Water: Water every day, or as needed, to keep the soil damp until the new seedlings are at least 2 inches tall.

Product Tips
- Let it Grow: We know you're eager to mow, but let the new grass grow until it's at least 2 inches tall before its first trim.
- Keep it Fed: To keep that awesome new lawn looking its best, give it a good meal every 8 weeks with a Scotts Lawn Food product.
Product Safety
- A Note on the Seed: We've treated the seed with a fungicide to protect it from disease. Because of this, it's not meant for food, feed, or oil.
- Store it Smart: Keep any leftovers in the original bag and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from kids and pets.
- Keep it Tidy: If any product ends up on your driveway or sidewalk, just sweep it back onto the lawn. This helps keep our local waterways clean.
How do I store leftover product?
Got some left over? No sweat. Just keep it in the original bag and store it in a cool, dry place like the garage or shed, safely away from kids and pets.
What makes Kentucky bluegrass special?
It's the go-to for a classic, beautiful lawn. It grows a really dense, dark green turf, and it's tough enough to stand up to everyday wear and tear.
How long until I see new grass?
Kentucky bluegrass takes a little longer to get going, so be patient. With proper watering, you should start to see the first green sprouts in about 14-21 days.
Does this seed work in the shade?
This mix really loves the sun. If you have a lawn with a lot of shady spots, you'll get better results with our Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix.
