🪜 How to Seed Your Flawn
Step 1: Prep your lawn. Mow very short (0.5–1") using your mower's lowest setting. Go over it a couple of times to chop up and spread the clippings. You want to see the soil before you seed. Lightly rake to loosen the surface — then you're ready to go.
Step 2: Spread the seed. Open the inner bag and empty the seed mix into the carton. Close it, give it a shake, then fold the top to create a spout. Wave your arm back and forth as you walk to cover roughly a six-foot-wide path.
Step 3: Water in. Water the lawn well enough to soak the soil — but avoid standing water or runoff that could wash seeds away.
🌾 Maintaining Your Flawn
- Mow at 2.5–3" for the first 1–2 years while the plants establish
- Once established, mowing higher and less often encourages more blooms and a wilder look; mowing shorter gives a more traditional lawn appearance
- Do not use pesticide weed or insect killers — hand weed if needed
- For new lawns or bare soil areas, consider blending with a fine fescue seed at 2–4 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
