Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix grows with as little as 3 hours of sunlight. This mix contains Root-Building Nutrition, a combination of ingredients that is expertly crafted to help establish deep roots to grow thick, green turf so that you can build a better, stronger lawn from the roots up. Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix is designed for full sun and dense shade, and has medium drought resistance with medium to high durability.

We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product (please refer to spreader settings on product label). Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.
