There is tall fescue seed in this mix. This product contains 15% 4th Millennium Tall Fescue, 15% Duration Tall Fescue, 15% Endeavor II Tall Fescue, 5% Wendy Jean Fine Fescue, and 50% WaterSmart Plus Coating (Zeba water absorbent coating with fertilizer and fungicide). The types and breakdowns of seeds can change throughout the year due to availability.

If anyone wants to go full nerd

I got 50lb of 4th millennium for about $233

Scotts wants about 4x to mix a seed coating and instructions just be careful on if you need to overseed or renovate because your amounts won't add up; technically you need to seed 50% more on scotts since theirs is heavier if you want dense turf which means you needs to buy 50% more

This is a nice deal for transition lawns. Just be careful if you are in that zone before purchasing.
Transitional goes as far north as southern Michigan. I'm in Grand Rapids, Mi and have had the best success with tall fescue because it doesn't go dormant when the temperature hits 80 degrees.

Thinking of starting a new grass lawn. Is it too late to start? If you buy the seeds, can they be stored and used next Spring?

Will this work for areas that are shaded by trees most of the day? I had a big grass spot struggling under my big tree that has lots of shade.

You can store this away from humidity and temperatures below 60F to retain relatively good germination rate next Spring. Most test dates on label are good from 6-10 months so be sure to check test date expiry.

I wouldn't. They don't usually keep until the next season, at least according to Scotts. If it doesn't and you try to file a claim with Scotts, they'll first ask for the manufacture date that is on the bag UPC. If you don't have that, they'll ask for proof or purchase which will show that you bought it a year before. They might cover it, but I doubt it.

I've filed two claims with them (both times I threw the bags out just being absent-minded). They asked for receipts which I provided. Both times they told me that I probably got a bag that was sitting on the shelf too long. I'm not a horticulturist, but I have to imagine they know what they're talking about. Anyway, they refunded me no problem, but I used the bags right away. Good to note, though, to check the dates on the bags when you buy them in store. Obviously you can't do that if you buy online.

The gemination rate will be less than it is now. Think of seeds like batteries that run off of the sugar stored in them. The seed is not viable when there is not enough sugar left in the seed to germinate. Like a real battery, you can slow down the sugar consumption used by the seed in storage by storing the seed in a cold place or a freezer.

FWIW, I believe the bag tells you to store the bag in a temperate climate. I am almost certain I have read that on the bag. So, storing it in a cold place would seem to have a detrimental effect on the seed according to Scotts.

Make sure you know your grass types. This is tall fescue. This variety of fescue is flat when cut.

Actually this is the best time to reseed so by next year the grass have already established their roots. Don't forget to use starter fertilizer to speed up the germination process of the seeds and frequest watering but not to the point that soil is muddy or otherwise the seed will rot and not germinate. And make sure to keep up with mowing and don't let the grass get too tall. Mow at least once a week.

Don't wait until spring. It may grow but the roots will not mature and may not be able to handle the summer heat. It will be stressed and die.
