Where to Use: Bermudagrass is best for Southern, full-sun lawns that deal with summer heat and drought

Where Not to Use: Bermudagrass is a full-sun grass, so it won't perform well in shady spots

When to Use: For best results, plant new seed in late spring or early summer, when daily average soil temperatures are consistently between 65°F and 80°F (air temperatures between 70°F and 90°F)

How Often to Apply: Use this product to overseed your lawn as needed, typically once per growing season, to thicken a tired lawn

Seeding Projects: This mix is your go-to when you're starting a new lawn or overseeding to thicken up your existing Southern lawn

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 (use the lowest setting on your mower). 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.

• Skip the Heavy Rain: Hold off on seeding if a big storm is in the forecast—heavy rain can wash newly applied seed away before it has a chance to take root.
• 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.
• Be Patient: Bermudagrass typically germinates in 7 to 14 days under warm soil conditions—a little patience now means a thicker lawn later.
• Keep It Fed: To keep your new lawn looking its best, give it a good meal every 8 weeks with a Scotts Lawn Food product

Water newly planted grass seed daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist for at least 3 weeks or until seedlings reach 2 inches in height. Water is key to seeding success.

• 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 during application, just sweep it back onto the lawn. This helps keep our local waterways clean.
