Q: When is the best time to plant Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Heat-Tolerant Blue Mix for Tall Fescue Lawns?
A: Cool-season grasses grow best when temperatures are between 60-80°F. Early fall is the best time to seed because of its shorter days, cooler nights and heavier dews. Your most successful seeding time is right around Labor Day. Seeding 2 weeks before or after that easy-to-remember holiday gives your new seedlings time to build strong roots before the winter. Spring is also a great time to plant cool-season grasses because of its moderate temperatures and heavier rainfall.

If you live in a climate where your spring immediately becomes 80F+ every day, it's gonna be tough to start grass in the spring.
Too young. Plus this is Scott's seed, so take "heat tolerant" with a grain of salt. I realize this is a very good price per pound, but spending the extra money for black beauty or a proven local mix sold by a nearby store is what I'd recommend. Doing it right the first time and lightly overseeding each fall is cheaper than constantly reseeding with inferior seed.
thanks! dumb question, what's black beauty? besides the horse.
A more premium brand of grass seed than Scott's. I've used their 'black beauty' as the main ingredient in a blend for my (zone 7a) lawn for a couple years now and the difference in quality compared to Scott's/Pennington is obvious.
It takes a lot of planning, time, effort and water to establish a healthy, drought/heat tolerant lawn. I just think it's shortsighted to jeopardize that in order to save a few bucks on seed.

Some people overseed their existing lawn each fall to keep it thick. I usually throw down around 25lb of pure seed per 5000 sqft. If you were seeding a new lawn, you'd be using roughly triple that amount, or more.
I've used Black Beauty (~$90-$100/20lbs) and Scotts. Black beauty is great, but not worth 3 bags of this deal. This deal is stellar. In for 3 bags.

Be careful with that. Seeds have a shelf life on them (believe it or not), and that's also assuming you get a bag that has a fresh packaging date on it. I always know I got a dud bag when I plant and barely any of it comes up. I used to store bags when they went on sale, but I don't anymore due to what I just mentioned. I won't even order them from Amazon anymore because I can't see the packaging date before I buy it. I suppose you could just return it, but it's easier for me to wait for spring sales at Home Depot/Lowes where I can verify the dates on the bags.
