Worst seed ever
on June 23, 2025
Posted by: Sid820
Don't waste your money. Never came up. Followed all directions and watered twice daily.
On another part of lawn, I use general purpose generic sun and shade and that came up in 7-9 days

Hello Sid. We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade PhysBlend Mix and appreciate your feedback.
This grass seed germinates best when soil temperatures are above 55°F and air temperatures are consistently above 60°F. In the spring, it takes a lot of consistently warm temperatures to warm up the soil. Any weed control used prior to seeding, such as using the crabgrass preventer, will prevent seed from germinating. It can also take 6-14 days to notice results, but up to a month for all the seeds to germinate.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Still waiting

It’s been two weeks and some days, still waiting to see if the grass will come. Is this normal?!

Hi, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix and appreciate your feedback.
You should start seeing germination in 6-14 days under ideal growing conditions. Will take about a month for all the seed to germinate. This grass seed will germinate best when temperatures are consistently in the 65-80°F range. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination.

I purchased the largest bag available and used it for 1/3 of the sqft area advertised hoping that it was going to even fuller than normal... i followed the spreader and watering instructions to the dot... the results after 3-4 weeks were not what I expected... Several areas with blanks..... so now i will have to reseed in all the blank spaces... I am wondering what would have happened if i used it in the area advertised... the blanks would have been even more...

Bought a dethatcher, then aerated, seeded with Scotts sun and shade, used starter fertilizer and got poor results after over 25 days. Began early September in the state of CT. Waste of money and time.
