About This Product
Grow a lawn that can withstand tough conditions with Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix. This mix of Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass grows long roots to access water deep in the soil, and also self repairs to fill in bare spots. Use this grass seed mix to seed a new lawn or overseed an existing lawn. For best results, apply this lawn care product when air temperatures are between 65°F and 85°F. To seed a new lawn, prep the area by raking to loosen the top layer of soil and remove any dead grass or debris to ensure seed-to-soil contact. To reseed or overseed an existing lawn, mow the lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippings. For new lawns and overseeding, apply grass seed using a Scotts spreader at the recommended setting listed on the label. After application, lightly rake the seed into the soil to ensure seed is covered just beneath the soil surface. One 10 lb. bag of Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix has a new lawn coverage of 1,665 sq. ft. or an overseeding coverage of 5,000 sq. ft. of lawn.

Is this Kentucky 31?
No, this is not Kentucky 31 grass seed. Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix is a mix of tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass.
Directions say to water daily for up to 3 weeks. How many minutes should I water each day? I live in Sacramento in zone 9B.
Thanks for your question about Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix. Water the lawn immediately after sowing grass seed. Keep the soil continually moist for the first 3 weeks, or until the seedlings reach 2 inches in height. We recommend watering at least twice a day (morning and evening). If temperatures are high, you may need to water 3 times (morning, evening, and afternoon).
Is this grass seed a sun & shade mix as well as drought tolerant?
Hi Mark! Thanks for your question. Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix should be used to seed or overseed Bluegrass, Ryegrass, or Fescue combination lawns only. This product requires full sun to light shade with at least 5-8 hours of direct or filtered sunlight per day.
When cam you plant
Depends upon where you are, but normally you would seed when outdoor temps are between 58f-78f degrees, any lower it won't emerge, any higher and the seeds will just lay dormant and become bird food. Water heavily each morning AND late afternoon EVERY day
Will this grow in eastern Tennessee?
Hello Randy and thank you for your question. The Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix may not germinate if the air temperature is consistently below 60°F (15°C) or above 85°F (29°C). For the best results, your soil temperature needs to be between 55-60°F (13-15.5°C). Your seedlings need about 4-6 weeks without any frost to get established. Watch out for heavy frost or freezing temperatures before your seedlings are established, as this can kill them off.
Does this product do well in Central Texas/Austin area?
Hello Mimi! Thanks for your question. Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix should be used to seed or overseed Bluegrass, Ryegrass, or Fescue combination lawns only.
Can you use this product to dormant seed?
Hello! Thanks for your question. The best time to apply Scotts Grass Seed Drought Tolerant Mix is in the late summer to early fall when the air temperatures are between 60-80°F (15.5-27°C). In fall you need about 4-6 weeks with no frost for seedlings to become established. Frost prior to the seedlings becoming established will typically kill the seedlings. The second best time to seed is the spring. In the spring, do not apply until soil temperatures are above 55°F (13°C). In the spring it takes 2 weeks with air temperatures consistently in the 60-80°F (15.5-27°C) range for the soil to warm up enough for the seed to germinate. Soil temperatures need to be at least between 55-60°F (13-15.5°C) for seeds to germinate.
