Green Velvet 20Kg Lawn Seed The Shady One

Really pleased with it. Signs of growth after a week and around 2 inches in nearly 3 weeks (as photo) but still early days, it still needs time to thicken. Like everything, it takes a lot of preparation, maintenance, time and patience. I saw a few bad reviews and wondered if people had just sprinkled this on the surface and hoped for the best.

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.

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.

Very impressed with result..when the sun shines. Honestly it looks like velvet. Although some weed grass grasses came through with it. But I quickly picked them out.. germination time about 2 to 3 weeks

I was really looking forward to using this grass seed based on previous reviews. However having over-seeded my scarified lawn on 1st May, watered everyday germination is yet to take place with near perfect conditions. Hoping that any dormant seed will still come through, but I would have expected to see growth in a 4 week time frame.

was slow to germinate but eventually did the job

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

This lawn seed is fantastic! I've tried many other varieties of grass seed - some of which were more expensive than this - and none of them were anywhere near as good as 'Green Velvet'. The seed grows quickly (given the right conditions or plenty of watering) resulting in a beautiful deep green, fine bladed but thick coverage of grass. I bought this to fill out patches in my lawn but was so pleased that I've purchased another bag to overseed the rest of the lawn. I won't be buying any grass seed but this in the future.
