Argentine Bahia Grass Seed
I planted this seed 3 weeks ago in bald spots in my yard, today no sign of grass growing, very disappointing. I purchased 2 bags $39.95 each, that’s a $80 waste not to include the dirt I purchased to mix with the seed to ensure it had enough dirt to take root. I chose to purchase the Scott’s brand Argentine Bahia thinking a well known brand was safer to purchase. The original grass after 3 weeks has grown so high I had to go ahead and cut today. Now the yard look like it has holes from the spots. š

White seeds
I played seed down a week ago and all the seeds were white. After watering 2 times a day as told, the seeds turned to dust. Reading online it says the are bad seeds and have a tingle problem? Is this true? Please help

Lush Lawn
Scott's Turf Builder Grass Seed, argentine/bahi grass has but lawn looking lush and full. I used my Scott's Elite Seed Spreader to make sure the seed was evenly distributed. I followed the easy to follow directions and it didn't take long before i had results.

Easy to use
Scotts Argentine BahiaGrass was very easy to use. The directions were clear and the amount to use per area, I felt was accurate. The gras came in nicely. I would use this again when I need to overseed or touch up spots.

Works great just a little water and seedlings start to grow and thicken out.Product does not look like regular seedings but instead looks like regular granules. Regardless of appearance the product works! I have not been disappointed with SCOTTS products.

Great grass seed
Nice packaging and clear instructions I use it to fill dead spots after applying some top soil. Raked it in and watered daily. 1 week later growth has started. Very pleased. I trust Scott to provide a quality product. They did!

Grass seed
The lawn seeds that you sent did not germinate however it may have been due to my soil. I have amended the soil and I’m still looking for them to germinate. They get plenty of water there is a sprinkling system that comes on three times a week
