Southern Tough
This Tall Fescue Blend with water saving coating is the toughest seed I have yet to see in my area, which is the southeast. Here, during the spring, we frequently experience wide shifts in weather ranging from abnormally low temperatures to hot and dry, then rainy and it can change within a day. To add to the problem, the area where I have typically failed to grow grass is surrounded by two sides of concrete and one side by a railroad tie retaining wall, which is full of creosote. But this seed with the water saving treatment, the freshness of the seeds themselves and their ability to withstand the chemicals in the ground seemed to flourish immediately and even survived several sub-freezing days and within ten days had begun to grow over the area. Additionally, those areas where the sprouts were a little thin, readily accepted additional seeding with little crowding by the more mature sprouts. Further, with these exceptional seeds, I found soil preparation with some raking and a small covering of straw along with as needed watering (during the non-rainy days) helped to insure strong root growth. I fully expect to have a great lawn during the very warm days that lie ahead.

It's only growing weeds!
I bought this same seed in the Spring and it worked as it should. However, much of the grass died with the stress of the summer. I bought two more bags this Fall. I prepped the yard, overseeded, and watered. After 14 days nothing but the start of weeds coming up. It's awful! What a waste of time, money, and water! Any grass in the photos is established grass, this seed only produced these weeds!

*** READ THE SEED LABEL!! ***
Guys, If you're looking to fill in a blank spot and dont care about the grass type, then that's fine. Annual Ryegrass (Italian Ryegrass) will grown in quickly, however, it is an annual grass which means it will only last the 1 year. My lawn looked horrible the following spring... This frustration led me to learn more about lawn care, grass type and redo my entire lawn. If you want a nice lawn, YOU HAVE TO GET GREAT GRASS SEEDS, PERIOD!. i learned my lesson.

Good at first
I planted this seed in the fall of 2021 and the grass came in thick and handled the winter well, but it does not offer premium drought tolerance like the front of the bag says. It does get hot here (zone 5, Chicagoland) but the rest of my lawn survived this 3 week dry spell and you can tell the spots I reseeded with this are brown and dead.
This brand has made me afraid to use tall fescue in my hard in the future.

DO NOT BUY
The worst seed in have ever bought. I aerated this year after pool install. I mowed lawn to 2 inches and overseeded and filled in low spots with 2 yards of screened topsoil. I watered daily for 14 days and almost nothing came up. the weather was perfect early oct 70+ during the day and 50+ at night, perfect cool season grass weather

I am very impressed with the germination rate of this seed. This performs as well as much more expensive turf type fescue I have used in the past. I will definitely buy this again. This grew in non-ideal growing conditions - little rain, little sprinkling on my part. I planted in early April in North Carolina and these pictures are from May 31st. Wow!

VIGORO 7 lbs. Tall Fescue Grass Seed Blend with Water Saver Seed Coating is an excellent product. I actually tested it against another premium quality seed preferred locally and it germinated approximately a full week sooner and produced stronger growth without a lot of watering. We had a rather dry couple of weeks after I planted the bare spots and, admittedly, was very pleased with the rapid germination. Another plus, the percentage of Vigoro seed that germinated was higher than the other brand which surprised me as well. I usually mix this 30/60 with contractors blend because the fescue is slower to germinate but I love the look and feel later in the summer.
