Instructions:
For new turf applications, apply 1 - 2 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. Arden 15 Bermuda should be planted when soil temperatures are consistently above 65 degrees F. For best results, take a soil sample and follow fertility recommendations prior to planting. Care must be taken not to cover the seed with too much soil; no more than 1/4 in. covering over the seed is advised. After seeding, soil moisture in the root zone must be maintained for about 1 to 2 weeks. Germination may begin within 7 to 10 days. After the new turf is established, less frequent, deep watering is desirable.
Recommended mowing height is 3/16 to 1 in. with no more than 1/3 of the leaf blade removed per mowing. Full coverage may be attained with proper management in 4 to 6 weeks. This is a dense hybrid. Winter overseeding may be completed for year-round green color, but is generally not recommended on turf less than 6 months old.
