Most lawns have sunny areas and a shady spot. Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix thrives in both. This 3-in-1 combination of seed, fertilizer, and soil improver features Root-Building Nutrition to help establish deep roots for thick, green turf. The seed is treated with mefenoxam, a fungicide that helps protect seedlings from damping-off, a disease favored by the damp soil new seed needs. Plant it in spring or fall, when air temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F, to start a new lawn or overseed an existing one. At Scotts, we know that freshness matters, and we go to great lengths to bring you the freshest seed available.

New Lawn

1. Prep: Rake the area to loosen the top layer of soil (about 2 inches deep) and remove any dead grass or debris so the seed makes good contact with the soil.
2. Apply: Use a Scotts spreader set to the New Lawn setting, fill the spreader hopper with seed, and apply to the prepped area.
3. Rake: Lightly rake the seed into the soil so it’s covered just beneath the surface.
4. Water: Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist, and keep it up for at least 3 weeks or until seedlings reach 2 inches tall.

Overseeding

1. Mow: Mow your lawn at the lowest setting (about 2 inches) and bag the clippings.
2. Rake: Rake to remove debris and dead grass and loosen the soil so the seed makes good contact with the soil.
3. Apply: Use a Scotts spreader set to the Overseeding setting, fill the spreader hopper with seed, and apply to the prepped area.
4. Rake: Lightly rake the seed into the soil so it’s covered just beneath the surface.
5. Water: Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist, and keep it up for at least 3 weeks or until seedlings reach 2 inches tall.

Water is key to seeding success. Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist, and continue this frequent watering for at least 3 weeks or until seedlings reach 2 inches tall. Auto-timers or other reminders help make sure no essential waterings are missed.

• Keep out of reach of children.
• This seed has been treated with mefenoxam, a fungicide that helps protect grass seedlings from damping-off, a harmful disease caused by the water molds Pythium and Phytophthora. The frequent waterings and damp soil conditions that new seedlings need also encourages water mold development. The fungicide coating helps improve seedling survival.

• Do not apply near water, storm drains, or drainage ditches, and do not apply if heavy rain is expected.
