Jonathan Green 10622 Dense Shade Grass Seed Mix, 2 Pound

Thing to know. Use a lot of seeds. After seeding once and experimenting, I found best results where I seeded pretty thickly. I raked then then threw seeds out and then watered about 5-10 min a day depending on heat/weather. Bag says 2-3 weeks to sprout but I saw green in about a week. Super green when it's sprouting. We'll see how it does long term, but I'm pleased with the start. I bought a second round to fill in my lack of spread consistency in my first try. I was trying to seed a pretty big area. My yard is super shaded and completely treed and this grass is still growing. I'm about 3 weeks into the process and I'd say my shoots are about an inch and a half maybe 2 inches. I just threw out the second batch of seed so we'll see how that does. Will update this review as I see how it does. I gave presentation 4 stars because I want to see how it does longer term and whether it holds at the first mowing, etc.

Heard this was the premium seed for NC golf courses but germination was very slow with the shade seed we purchased. Will know in spring if the seed that did come up actually lasts. Plan to stick with fescue mixes that are blended for our local area.

Got this for a dense shaded area within a week the grass is coming in nicely. Will order more for sun/shade for the rest of my lawn. I tried another well known brand and had not one seed sprouted. Hopefully black beauty will be just as successful with the sun/shade mix as I was with the dense shade mix. A little on the higher price but if it works than its' worth it to me, instead of wasting money on seed that doesn't ever sprout. I would give it 5 stars but I don't know yet how it will continue to grow and hold up yet.

This product, when used as directed, did NOT germinate! Aerated soil and loosened soil, covered seeds in upper 1/4” of prepared soil, used starter fertilizer, watered daily (auto sprinklers)...... now on day 21 and honestly I see barely 1-2% of germinated seeds.NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH MANUFACTURERTERRIBKE EXPERIENCE - WASTE OF MONEY - and the worst part is a missed opportunity for a healthy Spring 2022 lawn!

give me time! I just got it...would not germinate if I had planted it upon arrival.

In some place grown in some place not

Planted the grass seed in an area of my yard where no grass had grown for several years because of the trees, but this is working.

Sprouted in about 12 days last Fall. Nice dense fine blades. Local stores all run out of dense shade seed every Fall.
