When to Apply
Best planted in the fall season, when soil temperatures range from 50–65°F. Fall seeding allows for quick establishment before winter and strong regrowth in spring. Spring seeding is also possible but requires more watering as summer approaches.
Sunlight Requirements
Performs well in full sun to partial shade. Requires at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Fescue and bluegrass components improve performance in slightly shadier spots.
Germination Rate
- Annual Ryegrass: 5–10 days (fast cover)
- Perennial Ryegrasses: 7–14 days
- Chewings Fescue: 7–14 days
- Kentucky Bluegrass: 14–21 days
- Full establishment: ~30 days with consistent care

Traffic & Durability
Annual ryegrass delivers rapid ground cover for erosion control and early protection, while perennial ryegrasses and bluegrass provide lasting durability. Chewings fescue adds fine texture and shade tolerance. Ideal for active yards, pets, and high-traffic areas.
Maintenance & Care
- Watering: Thanks to the Water Saver coating, seed holds moisture longer. Keep soil evenly moist until germination, then water deeply 2–3 times per week.
- Mowing: Begin when grass reaches 3–4 inches, maintaining a height of 2.5–3 inches.
- Fertilizing: Apply a starter fertilizer at seeding. Reapply balanced fertilizer 6–8 weeks later to support perennial establishment.
Soil Preparation
- Clear existing weeds and debris.
- Loosen top 2–3 inches of soil for strong root growth.
- pH should be between 6.0–7.0.
- Enrich with compost or topsoil if necessary.
Origin & Quality
Seeds are sourced from Oregon and Washington, two of the most renowned regions for turfgrass seed production. Each lot is tested for purity and germination. Contains no noxious weed seeds and features a premium Water Saver coating for better moisture retention and improved germination success.
