Scotts 18228 Turf Builder Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Seed Mix, 16 Lbs.

Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix combines grass seed and fertilizer in one formula, designed to establish new lawns or overseed existing turf quickly and effectively. This proprietary blend addresses the challenge of slow grass growth by delivering both seed and nutrients together, eliminating the need for separate applications and reducing establishment time.

Compared to grass seed alone, this mix grows up to 2x faster when applied at the new lawn rate with proper care. The tall fescue variety is well-suited for problem areas and large zones that need quick, consistent coverage, helping homeowners achieve thick, green lawns in just weeks rather than months.
