Fafard Low Maintenance Grass Seed + Nutrients

Simplify your landscaping routine while enjoying a vibrant green space with this exclusive blend designed for durability. This product combines our highest quality seeds—99.99% weed-free—with a progressive-release nutrient complex. Specifically formulated for homeowners seeking a robust lawn that requires less mowing and watering, this synergy supports grass development from germination through full maturity.

Certified as Canada No. 1 Lawn Seed, this blend stands out for its use of slow-growth varieties that ensure superior density and increased resilience during dry spells.

• Reduced Mowing: Composed of slow-growing fescue varieties, this blend limits the frequency of mechanical maintenance.
• Integrated Nutrition: Contains essential nutrients (12-0-0) that feed young shoots as they emerge, promoting deep rooting without the risk of burning.
• Superior Resistance: Provides exceptional tolerance to water shortages and common lawn pests once the turf is well established.
• Unmatched Purity: Seeds are precision-cleaned to guarantee a final result that is 99.99% weed-free.

For optimal results, sow in spring or early autumn, when temperatures range between 15°C and 26°C (60°F to 80°F).

1. Prepare:
   • Overseeding: Mow lawn at the lowest setting. Rake to loosen the top layer of soil and remove clippings.
   • Bare Soil: Rake to loosen the soil to a depth of 3 to 5 cm.
2. Apply: Use a Scotts® spreader for even distribution.
   Technical Note: Refer to the setting chart on the back of the bag to calibrate your spreader based on application type.
3. Incorporate: Rake lightly (approx. 3 mm deep) to ensure optimal seed-to-soil contact.
4. Water: A crucial step. Maintain soil moisture with light daily misting until the grass reaches 5 cm in height.

This seed blend includes targeted nutrition to maximize the success of your low-maintenance lawn:

• Nitrogen (12%): The driving force for a dense lawn that naturally crowds out weeds. It ensures reliable establishment and a lasting deep green colour.
• Phosphorus (0%) and Potassium (0%): This specialized formula focuses nutrient delivery on slow-release nitrogen, perfect for stimulating foliage without overloading the soil.
• Coating Technology: Advanced coating allows nutrients to be released according to the plant's needs, ensuring constant feeding and preventing waste through leaching.
