Deluxe Overseed LS: Canada No 1 lawn mixture for overseeding
Deluxe Overseed LS is an extra potent turf seed mix for overseeding an existing lawn on most soil types. Due to LS Perennial Ryegrass and endophyte enhancement, it is Number One overseeding mixture in Canada. LS Perennial Ryegrass has been awarded a US patent as it has a unique spreading ability.
"LS" here is short for "lateral spread," the capability of a grass variety of lateral spread propagation.
Recuperating fillers begin to form 1 season (7 months) after sowing. These fillers allow LS Perennial Ryegrass to spread and fill in much quicker than other "recuperating" ryegrasses. Traditional perennial ryegrass does not have lateral spread capability.
A universal mix for overseeding in Canadian climate
Deluxe Overseed LS performs well on most soil types and in various growing conditions in Canada. It contains grasses for various growing conditions, including shade-tolerant that will grow well in sunny and shaded areas and drought-tolerant grass.

Tips for overseeding a lawn
If the weather, pets, or other factors make your lawn looking sad, it is time to reinvigorate it by overseeding. A few tips:
the best overseeding time is spring or fall, as cool temperatures and rains help you
- before overseeding, mow your lawn shorter than usual and remove the clippings to allow the seeds to get on the soil
- rake the bare or thin areas vigorously to loosen the soil and to remove debris
- for thickening up, apply at half the recommended rate
- for patching up purposes, apply at the full the recommended rate
- apply a thin layer of topsoil on patched up areas
- keep the area moist by frequent light watering until the seed is established
- depending on the grass species, under ideal growing conditions, some seeds will germinate one week, while others will take four weeks
How to make grass better tolerate drought
1. Keep the soil moist after sowing the grass till it created the roots.
2. Later, water it once per week. Provide 1- 2 inches of water for further root development. Don’t water more frequently! Frequent watering will discourage the grass from producing deep roots. Allowing longer periods without watering the plants with established roots trains them to go to deeper soil layers to search for water. It works the best if clay is deeper in the soil. Clay keeps the moisture better and longer than sand, but there is some water in depth even in the sand.
3. Well-trained DeLuxe Overseed LS grass mix will survive up to 60 days without watering or rain. It can survive an even longer summer drought and self-repair due to its lateral spread if partially damaged.
