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.

So these are fine to store until April/May when we get spring weather around MD/VA? Or are you planning to seed earlier?

Quote from irishtroll1984 :
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.
Totally agree with your statement, ApplauseI too now look at the date on the bag before purchasing seed. I bought several bags of Rebel grass seed last Spring at HomeDepot. When I got home noticed one bag had a date about 7months older then the rest. With the older bag less than 50% of the grass germinated and came up, the newer bag seed was fine.
Seems like with these Amazon grass seed deals you are taking a gamble. I wouldn't buy any grass that is older than 6 months.

I too am in the DC/MD/VA area and this is not a Slickdeal if you plant in March/April and you only get 50% germination if the seed is too old.

While it is best to seed in the fall as others have said, you can do it in the spring. The problem in the spring is you have a short window to get the seed down and growing before weeds and heat start to set in. I am a new homeowner and have been able to see in the spring last year with reasonable success. I had large areas that were covered in weeds and just void of anything that did rather well. I seeded again this past fall and noticed considerable more growth to fill in any of the other patches. From my point of view I would say it's worth to try seeding in the spring but do not waste tons and tons of seeds expecting to have everything germinate and survive.

I got a bag because what the heck. I'm in north California zone 9b. It's raining off and on now. Doesn't snow. Gets over 100 in summer. Would I just be wasting it by spreading it on my existing front yard sod right now (Jan) that I'd like to thicken up?

Thanks!

In Georgia this year everything is weird.... I seeded a brand new lawn on Oct 15, which is late, but we've had weird temps and a ton of rain so it's come up pretty great. I had to seed a few spots with annual rye to get me through to spring, but come next fall it should be doing pretty okay. Point is -- seeding time 100% depends on what zone you're in. In the south we seed late because it's hot until late October.

This pic is today, Jan 4. It was 75 degrees Sunday. It was 35 today. Hooray Georgia.

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

The soil temp just needs to be above 65 degrees and it will work. Spring failures are due to low soil temps

Store them or any seeds in climate control area. Instead of garage put em in basement or boiler room. Thats what i do. Always last longer

If you seed it in spring…make sure you water it a ton all summer long. If the dirt is not moist anymore, you need to water it…that will be about 2-3 times a day. So yea you can but either 1) you'll spend a ton on water or 2) if you don't spend the ton on water then you just wasted a ton on the seed and still have a shitty lawn. If you sees it in fall, you'll be able to let nature water it and save a ton on water. Just be patient with it, I learned this the hard way. Timing, consistency, and patience is everything with having the perfect lawn.

"For Tall Fescue Lawns"? So, I need be careful to use this if my lawn is not Tall Fescue? I normally use Scotts Sun&Shade that does not contain any Tall Fescue seeds.

You have a mixture of tall fescue variation and KBG..depending on what you have in your lawn now it should blend in ok
