Fundamentals™ by Scotts® Grass Seed Perennial Ryegrass Mix

Enjoy your lawn again with Fundamentals™ by Scotts® Grass Seed Perennial Ryegrass Mix. The uniquely formulated grass seed is ideal for high traffic areas and performs well in the sun. This versatile grass seed mix is coated to absorb twice as much water than uncoated seeds. The perennial ryegrass seed establishes quickly, and it helps to control erosion. This grass seed can be used on a new lawn or to reseed an existing yard. For best results, apply in the spring or fall when air temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 80°F. We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product (please refer to spreader settings on product label). Lightly rake the seed into the soil to ensure the seed is covered just beneath the soil surface. Water the area daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches. One 3 lb. bag of Fundamentals™ by Scotts® Grass Seed Perennial Ryegrass Mix has a new lawn coverage of 375 sq. ft. and an reseeding coverage of 1,249 sq. ft.

  • One pass with a Scotts® broadcast/rotary or Elite spreader.

  • Or, two passes with a Scotts® drop or Wizz® spreader.

  • Or, three passes with a Scotts® drop or Wizz® spreader.

• Following the application, lightly rake the seed into the soil to ensure it's covered just beneath the soil surface.

Where to Use

• An ideal seed for high traffic areas.
• Performs well in the sun.

When to Apply

• Fall and spring are the best times to plant grass seed because seed germinates best when temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F.

Watering Tips

• Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall. To maintain growth, water more deeply with reduced frequency as needed. For best results, water twice daily for at least 3 weeks to keep the soil surface moist after seeding.
