Review: Sprouting in 7 days, 14 days looks great, 21 days exactly what I wanted - I needed coverage in an area that gets about 3 hours of sun but not all of the area at the same time. East side of house between fence and house. Sodded with St. Augustin last year but construction traffic took a toll and TX summer I could not save it. I planted the seed a week ago exactly and I could see sprouts coming up a couple of days ago. Here are photos today 1 week after sowing seed. Area with longest amount of sun coming up nicely. Areas where less length of sun coming up but slower. Area with very little sun, I can barely see any coming up. I csn only water once a day due to work. We had nice amount of rain on 4th day after planting. I would and will buy again. Updated. More photos at 14 days and 21 days. I will be buying this again in the spring for the other side of the house. Updated July 30, 2023. Could not take the North Texas heat. I water every other day and in the evening when there is no sun shining on the grass. It could not hold up. Very disappointed, I spent a lot of time watering and nurturing this seed on the side of my house that gets sun from 11am to 4pm.
Review: I have never had fescue survive from September to the following September until this product! - I have been seeding fescue For over 15 years, last year the price of fescue at my local store tripled and so I said what the heck I’ll just buy it off of desertcart. I am definitely buying it again this year. It survived the entire year, Just to bolster was already there. Never in my 15 years of planting fescue annually has the grass survived the entire year, there’s always major brown spots. Not with this product, the grass is full and thick from last years planting. This summer was the hottest summer we’ve had since I’ve been planting fescue and I cannot believe that it’s still alive. For those people that are planting it in the spring and expecting it to grow well, fescue does not grow well in the spring. You have to plan it in the fall and let it grow into the ground and then in the spring it will come strong.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good seeds for shade
*by E***P on May 15, 2025*

I bought these seeds to put on a very shaded place in north Texas. I put the first batch mid March and had excellent germination rates. However, I put a second batch late March and did not germinate at all. The seeds that grew seems OK. They do not last where there is sun and they require lots of watering at first (twice daily for at least a month and then once daily for another one). I am now changing to every other day. I will try again in October when temperatures cool down and I’ll see if the ones that germinated can tolerate the summer heat.
