About This Product

Mountain view seeds sun and shade mix has been developed to help maximize your lawns performance while minimizing the need for excessive inputs. It is a-list approved, which means it has been tested by universities and the NTEP (national turfgrass evaluation program) to combine high quality turf and low-input performance, to give you added benefits such as reduced watering while needing less chemical and fertilizer inputs. This means a healthy, dark green lawn without the time, effort and costs of your everyday seed. We use top-rated turf-type tall fescue, kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass to help prevent a common and frustrating occurrence, summer burnout. For superior establishment the seed in this bag is coated with our watergard nutrition package, which helps provide the seed with the nutrients it needs to get off to a healthy start while also helping to prevent the seed from drying out and failing to establish. Watergard NP provides the seed 2 x the water retention to help create a safety net in case you miss a day of watering.

Questions & Answers

Will this seed do good in north Alabama
ByApr 19, 2026

Answer This Question

Thank you for the question. No, I would not recommend our Sun/Shade in Alabama. I would, however, highly recommend our Drought Defy mix in your area.

    What seed types are in this mix? Rye? What about, how much of the catch all "other" category?

    Answer This Question

    Thanks for the question. This product is approximately 85% inert ingredients that help retain moisture and provide an environment conducive to high germination rates. The seed is approximately 8% Perennial Ryegrass, 3% Chewings Fescue, and 3% Kentucky Bluegrass.

      Does this seed do well in areas that receive little, if any, sunlight due to my back yard neighbors 30 year old, if not older, giant oak tree that shades out about 90% of my back yard? I live in San Antonio Texas. Can you recommend one if not?

            Only 10 lbs of seed -- other 10 lbs coating
            The seed quality seems good, but I’m disappointed overall. The label doesn't clearly show that 51% of the package is seed coating. Because of this, a 20 lb bag actually contains only 9.8 lbs of seed. The package claims 20 lbs covers 6,600 SF which is 3.03 lbs per 1,000 SF, but with only 9.8 lbs of actual seed, that's just 1.48 lbs of actual seed per 1,000 SF. I used 20 lbs on a 3,500 SF area, expecting a thick lawn, but came in very thin because I effectively applied just 2.8 lbs per 1,000 SF.

              It’s seeds
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Package was easy to open and you get a lot of seeds, my seeds have not yet started sprouting, the directions were easy to follow and I’m expecting them to sprout any day now.

                So far nothing
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this seat down a few weeks ago and so far nothing. I have it in a nice sunny area but the weather hasn't been that great. I still see the seed so fingers crossed

                  Lush grass to fill in our patches!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband spread this in our yard a few weeks ago and even with the chilly weather the seed took and sprouted to fill our patches. The size of the package was just enough to cover the areas we needed. I would definitely buy this product again if we need further patch work down the road.

                    Inconclusive
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in a place where weren’t not past the risk of frost, so I didn’t plant this outside yet, but in a pot that I could bring inside over night. These pictures are from day 1, day 8 and day 16. As you can see on the day 8 picture, the grass started growing but there was a fuzzy substance that looked a little like mold. Now, at day 16 the grass has grown several inches but the coverage and germination aren’t great. I’m curious how much of this is due to pot vs in ground and will try again outside in a few weeks.

                      Blends beautifully!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would definitely recommend these grass seeds. I add to a bare spot in our yard and now you cannot tell where the spot was. Blended right in with the existing grass, especially after the first mow of the year. It was very easy to use. I will buy again.

                        Good growth
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I planted the seed less then a week ago and already have new patches of grass growing. This is the simplest grass seed to use. Thanks influenster for letting me try.

                          Good seed
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this seed mix. It’s nice for repairing sparse areas in your lawn or for regular seeding projects. The grass is hearty and grew quickly. I’d recommend.

                            Easy to use
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have some patchy spots from last summer when the kids used their water slide and outdoor toys so this was perfect! It's been a mix of warmer and rainy days so I figured we could try to grow out the spots. I appreciate the quality of this seed and hope it germinates well. It was easy to spread and see thanks to the blue. I love that it is sun and shade as our yard has both.

                              Grass seed
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just put some down on my lawn recently and although it hasn’t, start to grow just yet, I’m very hopeful it will help patches grow in that stopped growing where my dog goes to the bathroom.
