You're just wasting seed because whatever germinates will mostly die in the summer heat. Seeding in fall gives two growing seasons before the summer
From the FAQ on the page:

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.

It depends on your climate and how much water you're willing to invest over the summer. I've planted grass in spring and fall in northern climate and have had very good success planting in both seasons.

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.

so.... it's not really heat tolerant? or will it die from heat bc it's too young?

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.

How often do you have to seed your lawn? I have owned our home for over 20 years and never had to do it. What are we missing?

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.

You'll be fine seeding in spring. I've been using the specific seed for 10+ years, it has proven to be the best for our area - middle Maryland with wide swings in weather. Ideally early fall seeding, but if you keep weed killer chemicals particularly pre-emergent crabgrass preventer away from where you seed you'll be fine with spring seeding. Have done it for years to spot seed areas that I put filler into in the spring. I've overseeded in fall with this and even outdated seed works well.

I used this seed in my yard this past year and in one area, the whole bag did horrible. I took a picture and Scotts wrote me a check for the ~$75 bag. Their guarantee requires you to email them, wait, and cash a check but it is real. So regardless of your hesitation, I tested their refund process with my bag this past fall and I'm pleased.

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.

Man, I bought this around this time last year on a deal. Put it in the garage, and apparently mice and lizards love this stuff. Found the bag nearly empty when it was time to seed.
Same here, I heard something in the garage and it was 1 brown mouse eating my new seeds. Lol

Great deal. In for a few bags, never bad idea to snag a good deal and store until fall seeding.

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.
