How to use
Prep
- pour 3 cups of water into the bag
- seal, shake, & knead bag to ensure mix is wetted evenly throughout
- store at room temperature for 3-5 days in low light. this will help prevent large swing in temperature.
- look closely for small, white root "sprouts" to begin emerging after 3-5 days. this is the visual indicator that seeds are ready for planting.
- Note: Some roots could be up to 1/4" in length. A visible root on every seed may not be present due to the mix of grass species used.
Plant
- For best results, rake / loosen soil to ~ 1 in.
- Mix, open bag & shake sprouts onto the ground.
- Likely rake, covering sprouts just below the soil.
- Water immediately
Grow
- Watch sprouts start to pop up into grass 1-2 days after planting.
- Water daily or as needed to keep soil moist for at least 3 weeks. Avoid foot traffic in areas you have seeded.
- You can reduce watering & start to mow new grass once seedlings reach 3 inches in height.
When to apply
Fall and Spring at the best times to plant grass seed. Seed germinates best when temperatures are between 60ºF and 80ºF. Hot summer temperatures will dry out and stress seedlings causing poor results.

Packaging
A specially designed bag provides the ideal environment of moisture and air for seed to sprout as well as doubles as an applicator to spread sprouts with precision to bare spots and patchy areas in your lawn.
Special Instructions
- Leaving your sprouts in the bag for up to a week could make the seeds more susceptible to damage and/or drying out at the time of planting. For best results, try to avoid waiting longer than 5 days to plant after adding water to the bag.
- Sprouts contains a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer that feeds for up to 12 weeks. Establishment aids, such as Scotts® Turf Builder® LawnSoil™, may be used as needed per on-pack instructions.
Watering Tips
- Sprouts is a unique mix of seed, fertilizer, & mulch that is activated by precisely adding 3 cups of water. Adding more or less water could cause poor results.
- You cannot "just add water" into the bag of any of our current products and obtain the same results as Sprouts. You would also not be able to apply any of those wet products from their bag as they would not be flowable. Sprouts was specially designed to provide ideal conditions to the seed during germination by creating the perfect environment of available moisture and air while still being easily shaken from its bag at the time of planting.
- Water immediately after planting and continue watering twice daily for at least 3 weeks to keep the soil surface moist. It is important to water often until seedlings are at least 3 inches in height. Avoid foot and pet traffic on the new grass.
What to Expect
- Seedlings will start sprouting in the bag in 3-5 days after water has been added.
- As the seed sprouts, it converts starches into sugars which might give off a slightly “sweet” smell when you open the bag at the time of planting.
- Grass will begin to pop up 1-2 days after planting
