Turf Alive! Grass Seed now comes with lawn-strengthening Rhizomes, a seed enhancement that allows roots to grow horizontally, helping to quickly fill in bald spots and increase your lawn's resiliency against stress and common lawn diseases like brown patch, typhula blight, pythium blight, pink patch and many others. Those horizontal root systems also grow deeply, which means the grass will hold up under high traffic and resist periods of drought. Grass will grow in full sun to partial shade and maintain its color year-round with less water and fertilizer than typical grasses. Seed new lawns and bare spots for a thick, deep green lawn that, with its slow growth rate, you will mow less often. Do not apply where horses, cattle and other ruminants feed.
