Worked great in my heavily shaded lawn.

Had a rough winter this year and I have two very large dogs who tore up the lawn. Took those two problems as an excuse to patch/re-seed my lawn. Front and rear lawn are covered by trees of varying densities and see sunlight steadily for just a few hours a day. Applied dense-shade mix as instructed after aerating and applying compost layer to lawn. I then fertilized with SCOTTS lawn-starter fertilizer. New seedlings started to appear after 2 weeks and everything looks fantastic now as I enter week 6 of project. Lawn is lush and green and looks like a carpet. PRO TIP: Water every day. EVERY DAY. No excuses. You will see much better results.

Performance you expect from Scotts

Needed to control erosion on a newly built retaining wall downslope. Lots of choices for seed but this was the only one specifically designed for dense shade. Yes, it was the more expensive brand but you have to consider quality and end results and this seed delivered faster than expected. The special coating retains moisture longer and brings germination faster than other brands I have tried. From the day of sowing we had lots of shoots in 7 days and the growth rate after that was impressive. To be fair I did use rich soil as well as starter fertilizer. Watered twice a day to assure it never dried out and I couldn't be more impressed. Other reviews stated than they never got a single blade to sprout and I can't understand what happened to them. I have planted lots of grass and in my experience watering properly is key. Great product, worth every penny.
