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 60-80ยฐF. 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.

I have been told that, for cold zones, there is benefit to reseed during the winter especially before the heavy snow.

need seed to plant as a cover crop in a vineyard...to the people in the know is this the one?
plant clover instead. way less water intensive, prevents weeds better and will do wonders for the nutrients in your soil. no brainer.

for people that use "sun and shade" instead, the 40 lbs bag is $74 (or $70 with S&S max discount)

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

Depends on where you live, I have had success with spring seeding a few times in the Chicagoland area.

[depending on your region] you can plant in the spring. However, spring is not ideal because that is typically when you put down pre-emergent to prevent weeds from germinating. Unfortunately, that means you will keep grass seed from germinating as well. Typically, to plant grass in the spring, you will end up spot treating weeds all summer (not fun). Yes, summer stress is a concern. But like others have posted, you'll need to invest more in water.

Fall is the best, seeding in winter is possible just like spring. However you are hoping for a small percentages of seeds to actually sprout next spring, you are fighting things like, washout, birds and weather. When they say it's 98% germination rate that is in a perfect test environment. In the real world if you get 50% of them to sprout in fall you will get lower percentage in winter/summer/spring.

Don't forget tenacity or Scott's starter fertilizer with tenacity (mesotriome) it get put down with the seed and does a great job on weeds while not causing any issues for the grass seed. Stuff works great.

If your spring is above 80 stick to fall seeding. Unless you can keep it soaked constantly.

thanks! dumb question, what's black beauty? besides the horse.

Really nice grass seed you can find locally, I have used it and it's very good. Check batches when purchasing I have seen some bags with zero weed percentage and some with small amounts of weed seed. Always check the weed contents on grass seed if it's high run away. If it lists any noxious weedsโ€ฆ.run as fast as you can. I like GCI seeds great quality, fresh and zero weeds.

Quote from AnsonL6358 :
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?

Maybe your home has some really good established grass. In my parents home the backyard never had to re seeded but the front yard had a lot of traffic on it and would need to be done occasionally. If you are a lawn nut it's just one of those things you do at the end of the summer season to get a head start on next season. Any spots that aren't covered in grass become covered in weeds.

Subscribe and Save is the same price. If I set it for 2 months will the next delivery be the current price?

This is ultra low maintenance (slow growing, high traffic, low water) grass with extremely long roots. https://www.pearlspremium.com/product
