It is the best grass seed I've used . I prepped the dirt with fertilizer . And seeded 2 time what the recommend amount. water 3 times a day at 15 to 20 minutes a day for 3 weeks ,I put a new seed fertilizer down at 3 weeks. I also do not cut my grass short , My cut length is about 3.5" long .And I bag all my clippings.My neighbors cut shorter and their lawn look brown in late July till fall.If your looking for a good quality seed use this seed..

I can not say how this product would respond to hot Oklahoma temps. It does find in our temps (east coast ) which go up to 98+ at times. I can only say that it is the best grass seed I have used. I did place top layer of of top grade soil being seeding.

I believe that Oklahoma is to hot for this grass seed. During the hottest points of the season you can see where tube sun is always cooking the grass. The grass does very well in the cooler climate. Putting this seed down in October works best for me.

It should grow in your state without difficulty. Just scratch the dirt - deep enough to have the seed fall in and then lightly rack over the seeded area, water and you are good to go!

I spread my seeds outside in a flower bed with average/slightly improved soil but nothing special, gave them water, took maybe 8-11 days and they sprouted like crazy. They can take the cold but I plan to keep a patch going year round. Where my bed sits, they get about 4+ hrs of sun in the morning. If you don't have a garden or a bed, you could use a planter. I have used that method too and it worked fine.

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

I've lived in Charleston, SC and now live in WV. I've been more successful starting seeds using gentle bottom heat in a controlled environment. You don't want too much heat and too much moisture. Suggest you try using a basic plant starter tray either placing it in a safe shady spot outside or warm spot inside. Keep it away from direct sunshine as the heat will dry the planting medium. Gentle moisture and gentle heat are the key.

I checked and dichondra grows in zones 8-11. If Lubbock is zone 7 it may be too cold for dichondra. I'm in Fredericksburg which is zone 8 and my neighbor planted seed and it came up beautifully. Unfortunately, she planted it in a pretty shady spot so it didn't thrive. You might try a small spot and see how it does in the winter before investing a lot of time and effort in planting a larger area.

o, please ignore previous answer! I was answering about another packet of seeds I bought. most of these seeds should grow in warmer climates, you would just start planting earlier than you would in a more moderate to cold climate.

I can't tell you how this green seed will grow in New Jersey, I live in Maryland. It does well in sunny conditions.

Edited - I got it to sprout! It actually did pretty well. I had them outside, full morning sun, kept them moist, and I felt like it was a good percent of them sprouted. I think I am going to do it again in the spring and start them in a seedling tray, but with plenty of warm weather!

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking! I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight.

I live in the high desert (4000 ft.) and I planted in the early summer. Nurseries who sell these or any plants should let customers know when to plant certain plants. If I still lived in Sacramento, Ca. I would have planted this in the spring. Good luck...

We planted ours in Modoc County of California at 4700' altitude...... high desert. I don't know about Carolina's climate, etc. but our area generally cools at night and is dry with summer temperatures about 90 degrees maximum in the day with most days at mid 80's.... or high 70's.. quite pleasant. You might try calling the Dirty Gardener's number (253-383-5014). I spoke with Jean and she was very helpful. I wish I had called before we planted..... we'd have done it differently and with greater success but even so, we're quite likely to use it again at our rental next door in the spring. I hope this is helpful. We planted ours in Modoc County of California at 4700' altitude...... high desert.

I bought both because I have a heavily shaded back yard. Back along the back fence it gets no light in the spring and summer. I only put dense shade seed along the back fence and shady nooks everywhere else. Prepped soil as recommended and kept wet for 2 weeks. The shady nooks and the dense both germinated, but the dense was alot slower. Yard is green and thick but the dense is still filling in. I added some miricle grow lawn food to it this weekend. I think the trees are robbing the food Im thinking about feeding it with jonathan green green up this weekend. time will tell.

Should grow fine. I'm in Colorado (Denver metro area) and haven't had a problem getting it to sprout & grow, especially on the North side of my house which is always in shade and has more snow until later in the year than other areas. My biggest problem was the lawn service cutting it down to their "normal" low height last season. For that and other reasons, I'll be doing my own grass this year. ;&gt;

It should do fine in your area, has grown well here in north Fl. Water lightly daily for the first week, after that only needs water when you see it turing gray. best time to plant would be after the danger of frost is over. After established the cold will not hurt it. You should see good growth by the end of the first week. Wait till its about six or seven inches tall to mow the first time, after that you can mow as desired.

I think you can still plant it as it will grow as long as it's warm. Mine came up within 3 days of planting so it would still have all of August and September to grow. If you are in Texas like me, it will have October and part of November to grow. If you get some blooms, they will turn into seeds you can plant next year.

Depends on where you live, but I would wait until early next year (Feb/March). Grass doesn't grow well in the heat in general. I tried planting this last year in the summer and it didn't do much in the heat. When I planted it in Feb/March, it had enough time to take root before the heat hit in June and has been doing great.

I live in Mid Tn. We have hot summers, mild to cool winters. I started a patch of comfrey this spring. Planted in rich soil, didn't water and it grew like crazy. We had fairly wet spring and summer. It grew like crazy could have harvested 100,000 seeds. Instructions said don't pick first year. I gave some of the leaves to my goats, reason for planting, they love it. It was still blooming up till frost hit it. Will cut it 4-5 times next year & increase planting. Hope this helps.Old Goat
