Description
xScotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix is engineered for lawns that face shifting light, from bright morning sun to persistent shade. The blend helps your grass establish itself with a healthy, vibrant color and a dense growth habit, even in less-than-ideal light. Behind the scenes, Root-Building Nutrition works to support deeper, more resilient roots, giving your turf a solid base to weather heat, foot traffic, and seasonal changes. The mix is designed to lay down a sturdy foundation for a better lawn from the roots up, whether you're starting fresh or upgrading an existing yard.
Designed for versatility, this 5.6 lb bag can help you grow a new lawn or renew an aging lawn. In ideal conditions, you can expect a new lawn to cover about 745 square feet, or 2,240 square feet when overseeding an existing lawn. The product balances performance with practicality, offering medium drought resistance and medium to high durability to handle typical yard use. For best results, apply in spring or fall when daily average soil temperatures are consistently between 55 and 70 F, or when air temperatures are between 60 and 80 F. A Scotts spreader is recommended to apply the mix, and you should follow the spreader settings printed on the product label. After sowing, keep the soil surface moist until seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall to encourage even emergence.
