Pretty good seeds in fact (with caveats)
There are a lot of hates against Scotts seeds on lawncare forums. Admittedly, these are coated seeds, so be aware that only ~50% seeds. So for a 20lbs bag you only got 10lbs seeds (so keep this in mind when comparing with other seeds and in your seeding rates). I got this with a good deal so my price for *actual* seeds is still pretty good, and got the coating for free (i'd like to think they help).I even study the cultivars of these seeds and I think they are pretty good. For mine, it got about 50% in Duration and Nano (which Scotts uses a lot but I cannot find any ratings), and about 50% in Diablos, Thor, and Temple, which are all excellent cultivars in NETP. The grass texture and color are very nice.In my overseeding, I go with a higher seeding rate than the label suggests (which is only 2lbs actual seeds per 1000 sqft, and sounds a bit low unless you lawn is already dense). I cover with compost topdress, light water 2-3 times a day, and the germination rate is very good. The germination is slow though, I don't see anything until near 14 days. I also test without cover and the germination is even slower. So keep this in mind and be patient.I don't have a weed issue (another critism this often gets) as I used with Scotts Triple Action *for seeding* with mesotrine.Overall, I think this is very good seeds. Just be aware that you pay 50% for coatings, and the seeding rate may need to go a bit higher. I would happily buy again if this is on sale.

Good Seed Blend
Good germination rate and sprouts in about 1 week with daily watering. Attractive dark green color. Planted last fall and looks great this spring.

Took a while but finally started to grow.
Well it has been several weeks since we spread this 2lb bag throughout...right now, I don't think I've seen a blade of grass grow. Maybe it is a bad batch...disappointed as I had hoped I would see a few blades as it began germinating but NOPE. Nothing.I will follow-up and edit this review if anything changes but right now...the grass looks as bare as it did prior to spreading it accordingly and it has been about 3 weeks.Update 2025: purchased again, some grass growing and hoping for more soon. Working a little bit better than the previous purchase so I bumped it up a star.

Never germinated.
No visible germination after three weeks. Complete failure. After using Scott's products for years, this was a total disappointment.

Fantastic seed if you put in the time
It's grass seed, yeah, it's finicky. If you are serious about grass, I recommend this highly. The best I have used in 40 years. Yeah, you might have to water it 5 times a day, pay more for a coated seed (at least the birds won't eat it), and use all of your acquired skills, but I guarantee you'll be impressed. I live in Massachusetts, other areas might be different.

Seed
This seed germinated well for us. We used it in areas that were void of grass. We followed the instructions on the bag and it all worked out well.
