Jonathan Green Touch-Up Tri-Rye Perennial Ryegrass Sun/Partial Shade Grass Seed 7 lb

Jonathan Green’s Touch Up Perennial Ryegrass is a 100% premium perennial ryegrass blend. The three perennial ryegrasses in this mixture are all dark-green in color and fast to germinate so they fill in bare spots and thicken the lawn quickly. This mixture has been used on golf courses to overseed fairways, tees and roughs for years. This product is also used in the fall to overseed warm season grasses such as bermudagrass which goes dormant and turns brown when the weather turns cold. Touch Up provides a green carpet during the winter months and recedes when the warm season grasses start growing again during spring. Touch Up is very tolerant of heavy traffic situations and contains beneficial endophytes making the lawn naturally insect resistant. The best time to apply seed is mid-August to mid-October while the ground is still warm and the nights are cooler. Mid-March through mid-May is the next best time to plant, when the soil temperature reaches 55º+ Fahrenheit and the temperature of the air stays consistently warm. Apply half of the seed with a rotary spreader in one direction (north to south) and the remainder in the opposite direction (east to west). It is beneficial to spread a new seeding fertilizer that is high in phosphorus at this time as well. Rake lightly into the ground with a metal rake. Walk with light, even footsteps on the seedbed to firm the soil around the seed. Do not bury the seed more than 1/4 of an inch deep.
