Miracle-Gro EverGreen Multi Purpose Lawn Seed 1.6 kg - 56 m2, White

Product Information

Results can be truly impressive, as long as the instructions are closely followed to a tee. This certainly isn’t a grass seed that can be thrown over the ground with abandon, hoping for life to grow, but if you have the time and patience to suitably prepare the earth, it has the potential to elevate a bald garden to a fully-turfed green. In just one week or so, depending on weather conditions and temperatures, you should start to see your first shoots, then in the next few weeks your patches will start to blend in with the rest of your lawn.

If you don’t have the greenest thumbs, a hardy grass seed like RUNADI’s Speedy Grass Lawn Seed is a good option for those who are newer to the world of gardening. It doesn’t require quite as much preparation or maintenance as some of the other seed mixes featured here, and it produces results that are long lasting and easy to maintain. Whereas other grass seeds are more focused on creating soft, fine lawns, this particular mix is made up of 80% Perennial Ryegrass and 20% Strong Creeping Red Fescue which is a hardy combination, well cut out for thriving in less-than-optimal environments.

The best grass seed verdict:

As we all know, the UK climate can be unpredictable at best and atrocious at worst. Certainly, it’s not always an easy environment for us gardeners to work in! It’s also not the best climate for all types of grass either, which is why seed mixes like GBW’s 1 kg Grass Seed use selected grass species tailored to thrive in the UK weather.

It should be noted that we’re not talking about a cheap product here either, with this 1 kg bag costing around 1/3 of some 10 kg bags, but it’s still worth considering if you have the available budget simply due to the finish that can be achieved. Before you dash off to buy the best grass seed possible, don't forget to read our guide below, where we cover everything from when to sow lawn seeds to tips on germination. Best grass seed at a glance: Remove all weeds and stones and lightly turn the soil surface over. Level and firm by treading the soil. Create a criss-cross pattern, by sowing half the seed from left to right and the rest from top to bottom. If it's your first time using grass seed, it's handy to know whether or not grass seed will work on top of the soil. As grass seed is usually small, a layer of topsoil will reduce its chances of growing.

A5: Mow the lawn short, rake out any dead grass etc. Spread and rake Miracle-Gro EverGreen Lawn Dressing thinly over the lawn and sprinkle 25gms/sqm of seed evenly across the lawn and rake it in. Water in with a fine spray and keep moist until the grass has established.

Browntop Bent isn’t as commonly found in hardwearing grass seed mixes, but it can make be included because it helps make lawns fine and soft. A small percentage of Browntop Bent, such as the 5% found in the GBW 1 kg Grass Seed, will add some finer, short grass to your lawn. Your garden may have a tendency to be dry or the soil may retain a lot of moisture. Both of these factors may have affected your success in maintaining a lush green lawn. Another factor that can impact lawn growth is shade; some grass species don’t grow well in shady areas.
