Great seeds! These sprouted in less than a week and have done really well in dry sandy soil.

Starts fast but dies back quickly. Only about half survive to maturity.

Small package but seeds look fresh and hardy. A little too soon to sow but excited to see how they grow in my bare spots! Will update when the weather warms up!

These seeds are AMAZING they literally sprouted within 5 days, and are growing very fast. I simply threw the seeds onto the ground, no prep work at all. The sprouts are very sturdy, the pup can walk on them even as young as they are, and they spring right back up. I planted one of the bags on a hillside, really hoping it will help the soil stay moist, so the roots can get established. I have had a really tough time getting anything to grow because it is so steep. The little plants are beautiful, and already makes an otherwise bare area look great quickly. Another good thing about clover is it creates its own nitrogen, so no fertilizer is ever needed. Clover roots are also very dense, which helps with water retention, and requires very little if any mowing. Hoping to have the whole hillside be a clover lawn. The pics are of the plants 10 days from planting.

I bought the O.M. Scott and Sons Clover Seed because I was sold on the dream: low maintenance, drought-tolerant, eco-friendly, practically mows itself while paying your taxes. Amazing! So I lovingly scattered this magical green fairy dust across my lawn like a suburban Johnny Appleseed. Watered it. Whispered sweet encouragements. Waited. And… yeah. Still waiting. Did it work? Maybe. Do I have clover growing? Possibly. Is it just a bunch of enthusiastic weeds pretending to be clover to boost my self-esteem? Almost certainly. Pros: Comes in a bag. That’s a strong start. Spreads easily. I am now emotionally AND literally invested all over my yard. The idea of it is fantastic—like the Pinterest version of lawn care. Cons: Germination progress is currently classified as a “mystery thriller.” My neighbor’s dog peed on it, which might be the most action it’s seen. Starting to suspect this seed is just playing hard to get. To be fair, maybe it takes time. Maybe the clover is working underground, silently plotting its beautiful, green, drought-resistant takeover. Or maybe I just bought a bag of hope and delusion. Who’s to say? For now, 3 stars—for potential. If anything actually grows, I’ll come back and revise this review from “skeptical gardening comedy” to “miracle lawn gospel.”

Seeded Front 10/15/25 — New Fescue thus far 01/06/26, holding up well for cool weather. Hoping they dominate over the St Augustine I removed leaving mostly dirt initially before seeding, top soiling. Got these for the backyard where shaded sections of Bermuda from OM Scott went dormant, so seeded these Fescue there on top as well w/ more top soil, and they took good root; still green in low light currently. Constant work in progress, though, from daily anti-weeding patrol by me :-)

Overall I'm pleased with these seeds, though the germination rate has been a bit hit and miss. This could have more to do with my soil than anything and that the recent rain may have disturbed the seeds from sprouting. I would have expected to see some progress by now, but since they're seeds and those seem rather hard to get wrong, I'll claim user error. I appreciate that the package included a good amount of product and I liked the packaging. I will say it felt a little crass to see so much talk about utilizing the brand's other products to spread the seeds when by hand truly works just fine. It seemed a bit contrarian to the green-washed branding they've opted for here.
