Where to Use: This seed is perfect for starting a new lawn from scratch or for thickening up an existing one in Pennsylvania.

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

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.

Think of it like this: you wouldn't wear a winter coat in July. We've selected grass seed varieties that are proven to perform best in Pennsylvania's unique climate, so you're set up for success from the start.

With proper watering, you should start to see the first green sprouts in about 6-12 days. Give it a few weeks, and your lawn will really start to fill in.

This mix is specially formulated for Pennsylvania, but it will also perform well in surrounding areas with similar climates (subject to availability).
