  • Beautiful dark grass easy mowing slow growth
Size: 50 lb.
I planted about 3/4 acre in early spring in Central coast california. I wasn't able to get it planted in the fall like I wanted. It's very slow to germ. Like 3 weeks! But it gets thick. Thin bladed grass mowes easily with a front throw mower 7 blade.

  • Planted in late September, came up and strong in upstate NY
Size: 5 lb.
I have used this before, and love the fast results, even in upstate NY where we have been getting frosts since early October. This looks the best - and really does the best, of all the others I have tried.

  • Not one seed has germinated
Size: 5 lb.
Purchased a 5 lb bag to spot seed areas if the lawn. Areas were raked thatched to loosen soil. Added seed and sided a thin layer of hay to help keep seed in place. Lawn is absolutely level but seed is tiny in size. (Pink in color?) SPRINKKER set to water 2x day for 15 minutes. After 3 weeks Not even one seed has germinated. You would think we would see a few blades of grass growing after 3 weeks but not a one!! I would give it zero stars if I could . Definitely not user error..I have been maintaining a beautiful lush green lawn for 30 years so know how to spot seed. ... show more

  • Very happy with the results!
Size: 5 lb.
This seed is awesome! I live in SoCal and couldn't decide on one seed so I mixed this Midnight KBG with some Black Beauty Golden State and Hatrick/Fireball perineal rye seed from Bailey Seed Co. The results is a thick beautiful dark green grass that I'm cutting about an inch tall. Hand push reel and i don't bag the tiny clipping. Presently watering twice a day 4-5 minutes. You can't go wrong with this KBG but I have learned you might want to mix in some perineal rye with it. Also like to note that I started off with some old Bermuda filled with crab grass. There is a lot of great guys on YouTube who share how to make your lawn look good just trust the process! Good luck to you Update one year later 9/30/24 Grass had a bit of a hard time during the brutal heat 100+ for a week even with heavy watering there was drying spots where it wanted to go into dormancy. This year I'm over seeding with Blackout tall turf hopefully it can handle the SoCal hot summers better. ... show more

  • Beautiful color but needs time to mature
Size: 5 lb.
I waited seven months before writing this review because I wanted to make sure it survived the -10 degree Ohio winter. I got a very late start planting this in 2014 and parts were only one inch tall when it went dormant. It grows very slowly. The color is a stunning deep emerald green. There is no other lawn in my neighborhood that matches this color and this is with regular fertilizer without iron. It is noticeable where my lawn meet my neighbors' lawns and they get lawn service. The word "upright" in describing how grass grows cannot be overstated. It really makes the lawn appear neat and shows up any other plants trying to muscle in. It is easy to rake and shows the lawn mowing pattern for those who like to cut on the diagonal. In retrospect, I would have kept spraying vegetation killer on the tilled soil for two more weeks before seeding just to make sure it was all dead. Then I would have watered just do be double sure. This lawn is only for those with the time and patience for the slow growing qualities that made me choose it in the first place. The winter color is a mix of green and yellow blades unless it is the first winter, in which case it stays green. It was totally green by April 1. I made the big mistake of using straw so I was constantly pulling out weeds and replanting fresh seed. The straw said it was weed free so I don't know what went wrong. Plus, my soil had to be tilled to 6 inches because an invasive grass with deep thick roots had taken over. Our home was the last one built in the neighborhood and it is where they dumped excess gravel. That had to go also. Did I mention the grubs and moles? My lawn was a wreck. I apply grub killer twice a year now. By April 2015, it was four inches tall and weed free and other areas are getting there with the help of fertilizer and full spectrum spray weed killer. Update 2/9/16 We are having record warmth in central Ohio this winter and the grass is still somewhat green. It was warm for several days in December so I mowed it down to the second from the lowest setting and it remained at that height. This enabled me to avoid raking leaves since they blow over the lawn as though it were concrete. It will show yellow footprints if anyone walks across it when it is very cold but so would my old lawn. It is nice, neat and compact looking. Any damage from dogs, etc self repairs withing 6 weeks. I can go as long as ten days without cutting. ... show more
