Lawn Fertilizer for New Sod and Centipede Lawns, 5-10-30 Granular Starter Formulation with Iron

This lawn fertilizer combines a 5-10-30 starter formulation with iron for new sod preparation and Centipede lawn care. Its lower nitrogen content and higher phosphorus and potassium levels support root growth in warm-season grasses, while iron helps promote dark green leaf color.

Before laying new sod, distribute the granules over prepared soil and lightly till or rake them in. For established Centipedegrass, use a soil test to decide whether fertilizer is needed: some lawns need none, and excessive nitrogen can damage them. Apply only at the recommended rate.
