Grow a lawn that can thrive in Southern coastal regions with Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Argentine Bahiagrass. This grass seed establishes deep roots and tolerates stress for lower maintenance, and provides excellent heat and drought resistance. In addition, each seed is coated to absorb 2X more water than uncoated seed. Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Argentine Bahiagrass is designed for full sun, and has a course bladed texture with high drought resistance. It can be used to seed a new lawn or overseed an existing lawn. For best results, apply in the late spring or early summer when air temperatures are consistently between 70°F and 90°F and the danger of frost has passed. We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product (please refer to spreader settings on product label). Water daily to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall. One 5 lb. bag of Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Argentine Bahiagrass has a new lawn coverage of 330 sq. ft. and an overseeding coverage of 1,000 sq. ft.
