What Customers Are Saying

The Rebel Shade grass seed appears to have mixed results. Many customers reported it grew well in shaded areas, with good germination and tolerance for heat and drought. However, some customers were disappointed, stating the seed did not germinate or only grew in small patches. A few also mentioned issues with weeds in the seed. Overall, the results seem to vary, and customers may need to adjust application rates or overseed to achieve desired coverage.

I'm a landscaper who absolutely hates buying big box products from big box stores because they are usually overpriced junk in a shiny package. However, with no options left after trying all the "shade tolerant" blends that my landscape supply store caries to no avail. I decided to try to big blue home improvement store and buy this product. I aerated the lawn on a Wednesday and had no rain but had temp irrigation running on the area for 2 hours every morning, then finally got a good soaking rain...

Trusted brand, Slope and Shade

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know shade grass is difficult to grow, but I have seen little to grow after several weeks and 2 seedings. I have enough seed left to attempt a third seeding so I expect it will be more different. I have used "regular Sun" Rebel with no issues on sunny areas for years.
