Traffic & Durability

Maintenance & Care
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist until germination. Coated seeds retain moisture longer, reducing watering frequency slightly.

- Loosen top 2–3 inches of soil for good seed-to-soil contact.
- Test pH: optimal 6.0–7.0.
- Amend soil with compost or topsoil if needed for better germination.
Seed Coating Benefits
The Water Saver coating helps retain moisture, improves germination success, and makes seeding easier by reducing seed loss. Coated seeds are ideal for new lawns or overseeding in areas prone to dryness.
Origin & Quality
Action Kentucky Bluegrass is Washington-grown and carefully tested for purity and germination. Minimal weed seeds and inert matter make this a high-quality, premium lawn seed.
FAQ
