Scotts 18308 is a grass seed specially designed to help you grow a thick, beautiful lawn. It is coated with a unique WaterSmart® PLUS Coating Technology that absorbs twice as much water as uncoated seed, and holds it twice as long. This helps to prevent the seed from drying out, even if you miss a day of watering. The coating also feeds the seed with essential nutrients to help it jumpstart growth and quickly grow into taller, thicker, greener grass plants. It also protects the seed with a fungicide to help keep seedlings safe from harmful diseases.
