Brown Patch Resistance is Incredible
The varieties of Fescue in this mix are amazingly brown patch resistant.

Comes up quickly if needs are met
After thatching my lawn that died after unprecedented drought in zone 6, I planted this seed in my most desert-like part of the lawn. I watered the area and kept the seed moist at all time. On day 5, I applied starter fertilizer and on day 7, there was germination. See picture 1. On day 14 the area was plush and green. See second picture. Seed must never dry out.

Works great
Had a few spots in the yard that were dead plus a long patch of dirt after a sewer line replacement. Spread it out and it filled up quickly and the yard looks full.

Love it
My neighbors yards look dry and brown in several spots, not mine and I love it! I keep telling them to use Scotts® Classic® Heat & Drought Grass Seed and their yard could look as beautiful as mine.

waste of money
I have never had a problem with any grass seed. Planted this on 4/14/20 and 14 days later, absolutely nothing. $16 for the seed, $29 for the peat moss to cover it, not to mention the cost of watering for two weeks. NOTHING! Then try to find any information online about the "no quibble guarantee." Very disappointed! Now I have to buy different seed (during the covid-19 pandemic) and plant when my daytime temperature is hitting 80. Forget Scotts and buy a cheaper brand.
