Ingredients
Creeping red fescue spreads by underground runners to fill bare spots and thin areas on its own.
Hard fescue handles drought, poor soil, and heavy shade with minimal watering or mowing.
Chewings fescue grows in dense, upright clumps that crowd out weeds and hold up to foot traffic.
How to use
Plant when temperatures stay consistently between 55 and 75 degrees F in spring or fall. For dormant seeding, plant in winter when temps drop below 40 degrees F.
- Choose your rate. Use 2 lbs per 1,000 sq ft for overseeding, 5 lbs per 1,000 sq ft for new lawns or heavy repair.
- Set your spreader to the lowest setting and walk at a steady pace for even coverage. Adjust the setting up if needed to see even seed coverage.
- Water right after seeding. Keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated for 1 to 3 weeks until grass germinates.
