Green Velvet 20Kg Lawn Seed The Shady One

Beautiful and fine deep green luxury grass seed. Gives a dense lawn If you want a deep green luxury lawn, this is great. Tolerates dappled shady areas well in my experience. Sprouts quickly and reliably if sown/spread with care and watered attentively whilst establishing. Despite last year's 2022 heatwave/drought/hosepipe ban, this grass has come back and survived fully intact. Best mix I have found for a premium/luxury lawn. Interesting to peruse the Barenbrug website who are grass specialists.

Quick delivery and excellent product

Box of grass seed for lawn patching. So far seed seems to have taken, time will tell how well it grows. Tricky to get too excited over box of grass seed though.

I had a lot of patches on my grass this year having decided to be ruthless in getting rid of the moss! I wanted something that would fill the gaps quickly. This product did the job. It took a wee bit longer than the three days suggested on the pack before it germinated, probably more 6 to 7, however when it did appear it literally did so overnight and grew very quickly. You could almost see it grow as you looked at it. Looks good now although a bit greener than the rest of the grass, but that's a job for another day.

was slow to germinate but eventually did the job

Very poor germination after 4 weeks

Excellent value strong growth

We've recently moved into a new house with a fairly big garden. The garden was a bit overgrown and as we removed overgrown shrubs we exposed large areas where the lawn had died. I have a friend who recommended this brand of seed as the manufacturers are experts in their field (pun intended!) - I believe Barenbrug supply grass seed to sporting stadiums so they must know their stuff! I didn't exactly follow the instructions on the pack - I basically cleared the areas of weeds, raked over, gave the soil a bit of a soaking, scattered the seed by hand and then tossed some compost over the top and re-watered. I tried to keep everything watered daily but in practice there might have been a day or two missed. 5 weeks on and the patches that I planted have a lovely thick, deep green covering of grass - the only problem is that the rest of my lawn now looks rubbish next to the new grass but that just means I'm going to have to order a bulk load of this stuff! Would highly recommend to anyone who want a lush, green and immaculately looking lawn with very little effort
