BarenbrugTurf Blue Pro Kentucky Bluegrass Lawn Seed with Yellow Jacket Seed Coating, All-Season Durable Grass Mix for Lawns, 10-lb. Bag

This is by far the best grass seed I have ever used. Unbelievable germination rate and fast spreading. I told another person about it and they agree. And best of all, the seed is super small compared to other seeds I've bought. It looks like pollen, so the birds don't mess with the seeds much. All in all, I am completely satisfied.

Awesome seed. Planted this spot 5 times before without success, but this seed took quickly!!

So I bought a bag of this seed. I prepared my lawn by scarifying, dethatching, and adding starter fertilizer. I watered the lawn faithfully every day and not a single seed sprouted anywhere on my lawn. Not a single blade of grass. So I guess 70 bucks down the drain. I am convinced that this was probably old seed, or the Barenbrug brand is not a quality grass seed. Fool me once.

Promptly delivered. Product as expected

So the Amazon AI seems to think that "yellow jacket" grass seed is something you wear. So ignore the ratings.Long story short-- this is premium seed that produces excellent turf IF you can get it to germinate. In my Indiana location and poor soil quality, I've struggled to find any seed that will root quickly enough to establish and spread enough to choke out weeds. I overseeded with this seed three weeks ago and I'm seeing only a bit of germination, despite 3x daily waterings and starter fertilizer. Probably won't know if it took until Spring.I really WANT this seed to work well, and I'm not sure how much of it is my shortcomings as a turf manager, my local conditions, vs the seed itself. Given that I've struggled with *everything*, I'm not going to blame the seed.A test plot grown in a pot showed excellent density and color-- the kind of stuff you'd dream of having in your yard. If only I could get it in the actual yard....

I had a 2'x5' area of mostly dead grass in an all-day-sun part of my yard which is made up of most every kind of grass one can think of, except KBG. In mid-September, I raked out most of the dead grass and added in some fresh topsoil, mixed it up as best I could, spread some of the Barenbrug Turf Blue Pro KBG seed, and lightly covered it up with a bit more topsoil. I watered religiously three times a day in weather that has been in the upper 80's everyday and on day 8, was rewarded with the appearance of lots of tiny sprouts. Today is day 9 and it seems like there is a bit more sprouting. It does not seem to be sprouting evenly, though, because one area in the middle has no sprouts whatsoever. Perhaps birds ate some seed or squirrels dug around (I did see squirrel activity one day). I plan to drop a bit more seed in that area and cross my fingers. I think the Barenbrug "yellow jackets" offer the seed good protection from drying out between waterings and the seed showed very good germination and especially quick for Kentucky Blue. I have a *lot* of seed left over and hopefully I can find the energy to spread the love around my whole yard next August. (Year old grass seed doesn't have as good a germination rate as fresh but I'll just pour more on and hope for the best.)

This seed is definitely high quality!! It started to germinate in around a week and after the 1st month it looks very good. Its lush and green now. At first I was sceptical but decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Time will tell how it holds up in the summer heat but so far so good.

You get what you pay for. It’s an expensive blend, but worth it. Established a small golf range area in back yard in about 8 weeks. Mow it at 0.75” and so far this seed blend has handled that height of cut well. Little bit lighter green color. Looking forward to seeing how it handles the heat and how disease prone it is.
