Bring beauty and protection to your landscape or garden with the vibrant colors of Hyponex® by Scotts® Red Mulch. Thanks to the technology found in Color Shield™, this mulch provides color year round. In addition, Hyponex® by Scotts® Red Mulch creates a natural weed barrier in landscape areas by blocking their growth and access to sunlight - just place the mulch in the desired location in a 3 in. layer. Hyponex® by Scotts® Red Mulch can also help conserve moisture. When placing mulch, set it several inches from tree trunks, house foundations, and other wood structures. To optimize color, it is recommended to turn the top 1 in. of mulch every 3-4 months. This product is also available in brown and black. One 1.5 cu. ft. bag of Hyponex® by Scotts® Mulch covers 6 sq. ft. at a depth of 3 in.
