Where to Use: This seed is perfect for starting a new lawn from scratch or for thickening up an existing one. It grows best in areas that get a good amount of sun.

How to Use: Use it to start a brand-new lawn or to overseed the one you've already got.

When to Use: The best time to plant is in the spring or fall when temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 80°F.

How Often to Use: For best results, overseed your lawn with this product once a year to keep it thick and healthy.

For a New Lawn:

1. Get the Ground Ready: Grab a rake and loosen up the top couple of inches of soil, clearing out any rocks or dead grass.
2. Spread the Seed: Pour the product into your Scotts spreader, dial in the ""New Lawn"" setting, and apply it evenly.
3. Gently Tuck it In: Lightly rake the seed into the top layer of soil. You just want it barely covered.
4. 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:

1. 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.
2. Time to Spread: Fill up your spreader, set it to the ""Overseeding"" setting, and walk at a steady pace to get even coverage.
3. Just Add Water: Water every day, or as needed, to keep the soil damp until the new seedlings are at least 2 inches tall.

You'll want to water the newly seeded area every day for at least three weeks to keep the soil surface moist. This is the most important step for success. An automatic timer can be a real game-changer here, making sure you don't miss a watering.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.
