– A1 Lawn Shade & Drought Tolerant Grass Seed, 5kg (140m2) - Perfect for Shaded Areas & Under Trees, Fast Growing & Hard Wearing, Child & Pet Friendly, UK Harvested Lawn Seed - DEFRA Approved (AMPRO9)

I've just finished my first 5kg bag of these seeds three years later! Have successfully reseeded 4 different lawns with this mix with great results. Buying another one so I've got some to overseed my back lawn soon and have enough for future reseeding after scarifying. So much better than the stuff you buy in DIY stores don't waste your money elsewhere, buy A1!

Planted mid October started to appear 10 days later,also seeded a rough area of ground which had a shed on it for over 10 years very surprised at the amount of grass which grew ,I had my doubts that any would grow impressed

Quality grass seeds

Excellent. Used for over-seeding to rejuvenate a lawn that had gone mostly to moss, camomille and clover after a couple of years of not being able to sufficiently clear up leaves from a number of tall trees in the autumn and water-logging. It appears just about every single seed successfully germinated. Areas in full-sun germinated very quickly and within four days were about 3-4cm tall. In more heavily shaded areas, such as under a large beech tree, germination and growth took longer, as would be expected but is nevertheless growing well. Helped by recent weather; periods of heavy rain alternating with periods of strong sun - which also kept the wood pigeons from taking too much. Some patches were slower to germinate were I'd insufficiently cleared thatch, but appears to be catching up now.

I don't like to give bad feedback sometimes it requires it..... ZERO germination. ZERO help from AI agent Rowan (using AI for "customer service"? Can only be because its cheap as it totally fails at helping customers). ZERO response from a real human. After a few years of family use our existing lawn was in need of some TLC. I have spruced our lawn up in the past and it worked quite well so I used the same process this time..... Cut existing grass short. Apply moss killer and fertiliser. Wait two weeks and cut grass short again. Scarify to remove bumps and thatch. Sow seed using a spreader.. Top off with a top soil/sharp sand mix. Wait while keeping ground moist. After 3 weeks of great growing weather..... ZERO germination. Go to customer (dis)service and all I got was an AI bot that's more interested in the order details rather than resolving the issue or putting a human in touch with me. I still have had no meaningful response so I don't know if it's a bad batch or not so with that in mind let your eyes be the judge. The first picture is from today (2nd May '26), the others are from 6 days earlier. All of the improvement is from the established grass. NONE is the light wispy hairlike growth you get from new grass seed.

Ok

Slower germination than expected but probably due to weather as just showing now after seeding a few weeks ago. Like this brand as a repeat order but first time with shady . Best value price.

Very Impressed with the results from this seed . Reseeded complete lawn
