Scotts Kentucky 31 Grass Seed Mix for New Lawns or Overseeding | Thicker, Greener Turf up to 1,750 sq ft

Build a thicker, greener lawn with Scotts Kentucky 31 Mix

Whether you’re creating a brand-new lawn or refreshing an existing patch, Scotts Kentucky 31 Grass Seed Mix is designed to help you achieve a fuller, more even look. This curated blend combines Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue for durability with Premium Tall Fescue for dense color and heat tolerance, plus Annual Ryegrass to speed canopy formation. The result is a lawn that can feel lusher and more inviting, with growth that emerges relatively quickly under the right conditions.

What’s in the mix

• Premium Tall Fescue for dense, dark-green color and resilience
• Annual Ryegrass for fast germination and rapid canopy development
• Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue for economical durability and low maintenance

Planting timing and conditions

Plant in the spring or fall when soils are warm but not scorching, with air temperatures ideally between 65°F and 85°F and soil temperatures around 60–75°F. For best results, apply with a Scotts spreader and follow the label guidance.

Coverage and how to use

One 7 lb bag provides about 580 sq ft of new lawn coverage or up to 1,750 sq ft for overseeding. You may notice green, even growth within days under favorable conditions, though outcomes vary with local climate and care.

Tips for a successful lawn start

• Keep seed consistently moist during the first two weeks for germination
• Limit heavy traffic until established turf begins to harden
• Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep roots

Overall, this mix aims to deliver a fuller, greener lawn than Kentucky 31 alone, with versatility across sun and moderate shade. While results can be fast under the right conditions, they depend on timing, weather, and ongoing maintenance.
