Ratings & Reviews for Scotts Turf Builder Sun and Shade Mix 20-lb Mixture/Blend Grass Seed

The seed is working

we purchased some seed earlier which is doing well. we are going to over seed at least one more time this fall, I purchased a 10# bag so I can also over seed the lawn at our church

Disappointed

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.

Love Scotts

I’ve used your products for 30 years! Can always count on you.

not all the seeds work... 70-75%...

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...

Scott’s is number one.

I have used other products over the years but Scott’s products have proven to be a better product. I now only use Scott’s brand

The winner seed

I bought this product 3 times this spring. Early to sprout, usually in 4 days. Very happy with color.

Big Disappointment with Scotts Sun & Shade Mix.

Tried it on both areas Sun & Shade. Works great in the shade, watered daily. The sunny areas was a big Disappointment. A lot of work for seed preparation with 80% less coverage results in the sun.

Still waiting

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

Worst seed ever

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

Junk

Scotts sun and shade mix Absolute garbage good weather watered daily very poor germination rate waste of time and money will never buy again

The worst

Have been a faithful user until they changed to "combo." The worst possible product. Grass did not grow, weeds flourished and finally found the original just seed. If I can't find just the seed in the future, I will have to change to a new company's product. Just the worst.

Use premium seed (Lesco blend) instead.

Bought the large bag hoping to seed a somewhat shady area in my backyard. For whatever reason, germination on growth was poor. Wish I could return but three out the bag and receipt. My recommendation is to buy Lesco which I used for my front yard which grew great.

Smartest Decision for my yard every

I decided to save money and stop paying fertilizer companies to do a nominal job of caring for my yard. I am so glad I switched. I am saving money and my lawn is looking amazing.

Very disappointed in sun & shade grass seed.

Last spring I spread Scott’s sun & shade grass seed over a 100 square yard area in my lawn. The seed was planted in fresh lawn soil. During the summer and fall, the location looked wonderful. Now this spring, the area is dead as it was before I seeded it. I followed all instructions, and I am very disappointed. It’s like there wasn’t any perennial seed in the mixture. I paid more, thinking Scott’s seed was reputable, but I’m thinking I was mistaken.
