Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worthless. Horrible growth rate, even after providing the most meticulous setting for germination. Patchy growth, large bare spots. I've used fescue seed every fall here (Atlanta, GA) for 10 years and this was the worst outcome. Scotts: Don't bother listing your lengthy "make sure you do this, this and this" like you did on the other 1-star review. Everything was done correctly by a professional. Your seed was garbage.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No germination ! After two 40 lbs bags I have nothing. Rented a dethatcher and prep the lawn. Planted mid September which couldn’t have been better timing. Watered. We have nothing after more than a full month. I should have read the reviews. The number of similar reviews is amazing. Bought a different brand seed to plant this weekend to avoid backyard full of mud this winter. Ridiculous.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No germination after 16 days Followed all directions. Raked, watered 3x a day. Temperatures above 65f at night and below 88f during day. Zero germination.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Still waiting for a seed to sprout ???? In late April, I overseeded my fescue lawn to address some thinning areas that needed attention. I have a sprinkler system so it's easy to set the timer to water a couple times a day to keep the seed moist. I always take my time and prep the areas before seeding... I have used Scotts seed for years and never had such pitiful results....This has gotten very expensive and time consuming for an old guy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, so good I’m in Southern Virginia (Lake Gaston) and planted this seed 2 weeks ago (after plugging and fertilizing lawn). Water it every day for 15-20 minutes and have had great seed germination and growth. This was an already established lawn so I’m hoping the Gold grass will eventually take over the clover and other grass that is already growing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible Grass Seed Spring 2021 I seeded and fertilized (starter fertilizer) my lawn 16 days ago and not one sprout of new grass. I have purchased other Scott's grass seed and always had success. Do not buy. Now in mid-April I need to start all over again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very tender, easily damaged I bought this seed about a month ago for patching and overseeing. I followed the directions for prep and used Scott’s lawn soil as well. The grass came in but the shoots are. Sry tender and just running a light weight push mower over it damaged it and killed it in places. While I realized it may take a season to mature It just doesn’t seem to be very robust.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Calling customer service tomorrow Applied two weeks ago. Most of the seed has not germinated. Worst seed I’ve tried so far. Batch was from August.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Highly disappointed A few weeks back I reseeded my entire lawn with two bags of grass seed. One was Scotts Souther Gold and the other was a totally different brand. I seeded half of the lawn with one seed and the other half with the other seed. The Scotts seed barely grew at all. I mean weeks later its just dirt for the most part. Meanwhile the other side of the lawn was thick and about 3 inches tall. Each part of the yard got the same amount of water and has had 100% of the same process. I cannot state how disappointed I am in this seed especially when it was about 60% more expensive than the other brand. This will be the last time I ever try Scotts.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Horriblr option for TRUE southern lawns! Bought this "Southern Gold" formulated for southern lawns seed last fall and planted here in north Georgia. Prepped the soil, fertilized, planted, watered and had a beautiful lawn all through winter and early spring. Fertilized again in spring and as soon as it got warm (June) it started to brown even with plenty of regular rainfall and moderate temperatures. By July it was BROWN BROWN! All other yards in the neighborhood lush green due to regular rain fall. Yard is not even full sun! Seed packaging said "grown in Oregon"...so what, its for southern OREGON??? Hate this product and the work I will have to do AGAIN this fall with a better true southern seed. Pic1 - early spring lush green grass Pic 2 and 3 what it looks like now. Pic 4 next to neighbors green grass. This seed is NOT SOUTHERN GOLD!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked Great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very high quality product. Worked fast and stayed healthy and strong. Very good value for price. Just another top notch product from the Scott's brand. I would highly recommend this and the other products they carry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Horrible Southern Gold is a complete waste of money. Seeded bare spots 3 times this spring under ideal conditions. In total less than 20% germination.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Confused So for it's popping up ok but what I'm confused about is it says bred in the south but state of origin is Oregon. Says so right on the bag

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Did not germinate We overseeded our winter rye with this in early spring AND used the Scotts Starter Fertilizer. The rye is gone, and we are left with nothing but a sparse, and dusty yard. No Southern Gold Mix grass at all! We went from having the nicest, greenest lawn on the street to the worst. I do not recommend this for overseeding. Our neighbor used an off-brand and has a beautiful and lush green lawn.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed! We bought the Southern Gold Mix with watersmart technology and the first section we did turned out amazing! The second section we did (about a week later) didn't take at all! We tried again and it still didn't take! We just wasted a lot of money. Very disappointing!!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Just an example of a terrible product. I have purchased this twice in the last two months and this is by far the biggest garbage that I have ever purchased. This seed is worthless. I will post this on Fasebook. What a waste of my money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from inconsistent mix Did my yard at two separate times, first time came in with beautiful fescue, second time it was all tall fescue that looks more like crab grass (but isn’t) than fescue. Yard looks horrible on one side and great on the other

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product. I planted this seed 2 weeks ago in south FL as it is too cold for other kind of seed to establish, some have more that 1 inch height, It is coming up nicely considering I don't have other grass and you can see it growing. I look forward to seeing how it holds up to our hot summers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sturdy mixture I bought this seed three weeks ago, I would say 78% germinate to date. I Feel if it wasn’t for the amount of wood chips in the Scott’s lawn soil it would have been closer to 98% gemination. For the price of Scott’s lawn soil they obviously are pretty proud of it, I would suggest they sift the (mulch) chips out.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Quick grow grass but [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seed really does take off and grow 2 or 3 inches but then it seems to wash away with our first rain. I have been using Scott top soil and potting mix but it does not seem to stay and continue to grow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sod Repair [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used “Southern Gold” to fill in some bare spots after the Florida rainy season. The seeds took root quickly and filled in the bare patch perfectly. You can go wrong with Scott’s lawn products and the price is right!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Green grows the lawn [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Early use of Turf Builder has brought my lawn back to life. A few areas were left bare because of winter kill. Scotts Turf Builder Grass seed to the rescue. All spots are filling in nicely.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed Did not grow. Planted early May, watered as directed. No germination but blue cover seeds can be found. Really wanted this to work for us

Rated 5 out of 5 by from has really performed [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the area I used it in was bare and hard. After I prepped it and broadcast the seeds, I fertilized and watered it. The grass has come up full and lush.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from very good product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] used to overseed my front lawn,had to cover bare spots with hay to keep from washing away in heavy rain,will wait and see if it stands up to the carolina sun in summer

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Grows anywhere! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotts Turf builder Grass Seed Southern Gold Mix for Tall Fescue Lawns in a couple of different spots of dead Fescue on my lawn, in the shade and the sun. It was very easy to apply and started coming up in all those areas in around a week, sunny and shady areas. I am very impressed. It looks like it will hold up well. I do recommend trying for hard to grow areas.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Rain up and down East Coast NC getting a lot past ten days [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used about two weeks ago anticipating the rain after a dry middle of the month. The seed has germinated and filling in my bare spots nicely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fills in bare spots and grows quickly. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good mixture of seed for all around the yard. Full sun to my shaded areas. Fills in high traffic walked area well. Grew quickly in a about a week and fills in with my original lawn and matches well. Some seeds stand out like a patch with a different color, this looks like it is all one lawn. With the coating on the seed takes a lot less water and has food for the new lawn, a great combination. A great product.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not worked as expected [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only about 10% of the seeds grew from the whole bag i planted in my yard.
