Scotts® Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun & Shade Mix®
Get outside and enjoy your lawn with Scotts® Turf Builder® Rapid Grass Sun & Shade Mix®. With our unique, proprietary mix of seed and fertilizer in one effective formula, your lawn benefits from extended feeding, resulting in full green grass!

After application, water daily or as needed to keep soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 to 3 inches tall. Each 16-lb. bag seeds up to 8,000 sq. ft., based on the overseeding rate. And be sure to apply Scotts® Lawn Food products every 8 weeks throughout the season to help maintain your thick, green lawn.
Pro Tips:

- Water daily or as needed to keep soil surface moist for the first 2 weeks, or until seedlings reach 2 inches in height.
- Resume mowing when the lawn reaches desired mowing height or about 3 inches.
