Product Description

The SCOTTS LAWNS 38605D is a fall-season lawn fertilizer formulated with a 32-0-10 nutrient ratio, delivering high nitrogen and potassium to turf before winter dormancy. The elevated nitrogen supports above-ground recovery and color retention heading into cooler months, while the potassium fraction reinforces root systems and stress tolerance. One bag covers up to 5,000 square feet and is safe for use on any grass type. Application window runs from August through December, aligning with the critical pre-dormancy feeding period. Landscape maintenance professionals and experienced homeowners apply this product as part of a structured seasonal fertility program.

This fertilizer is suited for residential and light commercial turf applications where fall feeding is part of an annual lawn care schedule. It is compatible with all cool-season and warm-season grass varieties, including fescues, bluegrass, bermuda, zoysia, and St. Augustine. The formulation is designed to protect turf through winter conditions and support a stronger green-up the following spring.
