What's in the Bag
- Tall Fescueon seed tag
Species listed from catalog and manufacturer sources. Exact percentages print on each lot’s seed tag rather than the listing.
Combination product — the bag includes mulch and/or fertilizer, so seed is only part of the bag weight.
The catalog does not verify the current composition — check the seed tag on your bag for the exact species and cultivar percentages, purity, weed seed, germination test date, lot, and net weight before relying on this panel.

Our Notes
Scotts Thick'R Lawn Tall Fescue is best understood as a convenience product for an existing thin tall fescue lawn. The manufacturer-supported value proposition is straightforward: one bag combines seed, fertilizer, and soil improver, with the 12 lb package labeled for up to 1,200 sq ft.
That format can save a homeowner a shopping trip, but it does not cancel the basics of overseeding. Extension guidance still points back to seed-to-soil contact, keeping new seed moist, timing the work well, and correcting shade, compaction, drainage, soil pH, or fertility issues that caused the thinning in the first place.
Use it when the lawn already has tall fescue and the job is to improve density without managing separate bags of seed and starter fertilizer. Skip it for bare-soil establishment, large renovation math, or any purchase where you need exact seed percentages, named cultivars, purity, weed seed, or germination rates from a current seed tag.
