Response from ScottsBy Amanda, Consumer Services, January 14, 2016
We would like to apologize for the lack of germination you've had with your Sun and Shade grass seed. How shady is the area where you applied the seed? All grass seed does require at least 4 hours of direct sunlight in order to germinate.

The coating works

Expertise:Intermediate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good grass seed as the coating around the seed seems to make the grass grow quicker. I live in Illinois and we have some pretty dry summers but the coating seems to help retain water. This grass seed works!
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions

Product will work any place on property

from Fraser, MI, USA

Expertise:Intermediate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used to fill in a area after cement work and tree removal. Because of stone flower garden and several different trees on property, and different sun exposure I skeptical of only using one seed. I do all my own landscaping and found the product easy to spread and Was pleased to fine a green lawn just about all over. Only problem was right next to wall and that required a second planting, which only made sense, as complete lack of sun, but for about 2 hours a day. Did take a steady diet of water daily x 2, but worth it.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality

A complete waste of money

I put 20 lbs of the Scotts Turf Builder Seed down over 3 weeks ago and watered religiously 3 times each day. Nothing has germinated, the seeds remain blue/green and there is absolutely no grass, not a blade.
Cons: Didn't work as expected, expensive, useless
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from ScottsBy Jeremy, Consumer Services, May 6, 2014
We are sorry that you have experienced problems while using Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. Generally, we recommend seeding in late spring when temperatures are warm not only during the day, but at night also.
Temperature plays a critical role in seedling germination. Soil temperatures for northern (cool season) type turfgrass seed (Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue) must be at least 55 degrees F for seed to germinate. For best results, daytime temperatures must typically be in the 60-80 degree F. range and not going below 50 degrees F at night. Seeds will not germinate if the temperatures are cold at night, or are fluctuating from high day temperature to very low night time temperatures. The best time to seed cool season grasses is early to mid-fall.
One major "enemy" of a newly seeded lawn is herbicide. Make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass.
