Scotts Lawns 18225 Sun Shade Grass Seed 3 Lb

Product Description

The SCOTTS LAWNS 18225 is a sun and shade grass seed blend formulated to establish and thicken turf in a wide range of light conditions. Weighing 3.5 pounds packaged, each 3 lb bag covers up to 400 square feet for new lawn installation. The blend is engineered to grow in both dense shade and full sun, making it suitable for yards with mixed canopy coverage. It spreads aggressively to build a dense, durable turf layer. The starter fertilizer component carries an NPK ratio of 3-1-0, supporting early root development without excessive top growth. Landscape professionals and grounds maintenance crews use this product for residential seeding, overseeding, and patch repair applications.

This grass seed blend is intended for use in residential and light commercial turf applications where variable sun exposure is present. It performs in areas ranging from heavily shaded zones under tree canopies to open, full-sun lawns. Coverage is rated at 400 square feet per bag for new lawn establishment. Overseeding existing turf will extend coverage further depending on existing grass density and soil condition. It is well suited for fall or spring seeding seasons when soil temperatures support germination.

Installation Notes

Soil preparation including raking and loosening the top layer improves seed-to-soil contact and germination rates. Seed should be applied with a broadcast or drop spreader set to the recommended rate on the bag label. Keep seeded areas consistently moist until germination is complete and seedlings are established. Follow local water use guidelines and any applicable turf ordinances for your jurisdiction.
