Details
The softwood base takes red dye more vividly than hardwood would — the color pops against green foliage and brick exteriors in a way that's hard to get any other way.
Lighter weight than our hardwood mulches; avoid steep slopes where heavy rain can shift it. Like our other dyed mulches, the dye needs 24 hours of dry time to lock in — do not apply before rain. Dye will temporarily stain concrete.
