Best there is.
Tried for years to get shade grass to grow. Bough this and Biola! I have grass in my densely shaded areas. Five stars for sure.Nice, healthy and dense growth, exactly what I wanted.

Poor excuse for grass seed
This seed did not even germinate the last two time I had bought it. Never again.

It grew
My yard is full of grass. Helps to cover it with a small amount of topsoil to keep it damp.

Sprouted in two weeks. Works best with added soil.
Location: Houston (yes I know it’s for northern lawns, but the area I’m planting this is not good for Houston st Augustine grass)Planted: January 4Conditions: first two weeks we got a cold front mid 30s in the evening through 50s. Third week back to mid 40s to 60s.Time to sprout: took about two weeks for the first few blade of grass to poke through. Third week about 70% of the grass seed sprouted. They are most dense where I added too soils vs the area that had denser clay soil but some are sprouting there. I over seeded the areas the first time and I reseeded at 2.5 weeks.I raked the area and made sure that the soil was loose. I added enriched topsoil with compost from (Houston garden center). The areas with about an inch of that had the most success.All that said I got about a 70% sprout rate in areas where I added enriched top soil and <5% in the areas that were just raked with little to no added top soil. The mix I have is in the pictures. I can’t tell which type sprouted as I’m not familiar with the varieties and they’re all fine blade grass.I’ll update the rating if the rest of seeds in the bald spots sprout... so far it’s in even.

It took a little while to start growing
It’s growing good, and looks good. We couldn’t get any other grass to grow in that shade

Not one seed took
Not one seed took in my "shaded" area. Although I got took for 40 bucks. I planted another brand, and it is growing as I speak, in sunlit areas too. So it wasn't my planting skills. This is not saying the seller isn't great, they are. The product was junk.
