Walter: This seed is premium priced because it is supposed to be so good. First, you must combine it with sand to spread it. You cannot hand spread it. I have used it before so I was prepared for that but this stuff never came up. Ground prepared... with a metal rake. Spread with sand. Gently watered so as not to shift it or let it wash away. Waited three plus weeks. Nothing. Not even a sprout. Sod is ordered. It will be here next week.

Richard Adams SrRichard Adams Sr: I could not be more pleased with this grass seed. Today (May 3 2022) is day 8 after seeding on April 25. I have great germination as you can see in the pictures. The first picture is right after seeding on April 25. The two other pictures are today, May 3, 8 days after seeding. I’m restoring my front lawn after having a beautiful Saint Augustine lawn for over 25 years, and it was here since the house was built in ‘72, so it was pretty old. I’ve always enjoyed making my lawn look nice, and at one point it was the most beautiful grass on the street, but I never bagged the clippings and I let thatch build up and ended up getting a fungus that left big bare spots in the yard, and those quickly filled in with weeds. Before I could deal with it, I had lost most of my grass, and the entire yard was nothing but weeds. I treated with fungicide and sprayed for insects, put down a layer of compost over the entire yard, and started clearing the worst bare patches with Round-Up. I waited a month after Round-Up, cleared out any dead vegetation in this one spot, and re-seeded with TifBlair Centipede. I wanted to just do this one spot before I spent the money for more seed.

Stephen G Cox: Planted a small amount of this seed in August in Chattanooga. August is too late for this type seed, but I wanted to test the germination and growth rate. Follow the seeding instructions. It does not germinate like fescue. You have to cover it by a 1/4 inch of dirt. Germination percentage was high where I covered it and kept it wet. Poor where I didn't cover it and non-existent where I didn't water it. (But, I expected that.) The instructions are clear. Follow them and you will have great results. There is a periodic growth chart on the side of the bag and my Tifblair grass exceeded the expected performance on the chart. Very happy with the appearance and rate of migration/growth. As of late November, its still green and most neighboring yards with bermuda have already turned brown. So, it holds it color longer, as advertised. The real test will be if it survives winter in this Tennessee transition zone. If it returns healthy in March, I'll replace my entire yard (1.25 acres) with this grass. So far, it passed every test and expectation I have with it.
***UPDATE*** July 2013
Its been 11 months since I planted the seed. It came up and grew a little last Fall.

Amazon Customer: I purchased this seed to do my yard in Hampton roads Virginia. That was 4 years ago. It came in great.
Have relocated to NC…So just put down more tifBlair centipede here . It’s expensive and I used more than it calls for because the seed is so tiny. Watering 4 times daily. Looking forward to carefree lawn!
Edit: very tiny grass appearing now it’s been 1 week
