When seeding my new section of yard two weeks ago, I used the remaining bag of standard Scotts grass seed (northeast variety) on a 14x10 section of new top soil. For the rest of the yard, I spent more money and got the same grass mixture, but with the special coating that promises less water and quicker growth. It was $10 more per bag. I planted everything the same day, in the same area, same top soil, same exposure to water - and the standard, less expensive Scotts seed germinated and sprouted above ground SEVERAL days faster than the other seed. The cheaper stuff sprouted evenly about 4 days ago, and today most of the other seed still hasn't sprouted in several parts, including the section adjacent to the cheap seed. The cheap stuff was 100% sprouted after 9 days from day zero. The expensive stuff has sprouted about 20% of the total area, after two weeks.
I feel ripped off. I can't speak for the less water part, but I'm guessing that is also a crock. Stick with the standard seed and get your lawn quicker and save some money. I also noticed the "coating" on these seeds washes off right away with minimal exposure to water or even moist soil.

I figured that shade grass would grow slower and boy is it ever. The part that is growing best is the part that is in direct sun for part of the day. There we have seen grass grow to about 4" high in 8-10 weeks. The part that is in shade almost entirely during the day is showing no grass at all (and it's still bright there - just no direct sun). I will continue to experiment with ground cover until I find something that works in between the fence and the house. I dont think this stuff is it though.
I will say this - the grass that has sprouted and started to grow in the more sunny areas is fine, dark green, and looks great. Now if it only decided to organize itself into a whole lawn, we'd have something...

My recommendation: do not buy Scott's new white stuff covered grass seeds.
I used to be an avid fan of any product Scott makes, including seeds, fertilizer, etc etc. I don't buy any other fertilizer right now other than Scott's. But they really messed up with this new white stuff covered seeds. Earlier this Spring I spent > $300 on these new seeds and $250 to rent a slice seeder and not a single grass came out. Note that i have slice seeded before with Scott's and the same method and had no problem. I had a tough time figuring out why the grass never came up and through the process of elimination I have determined it is definitely the new grass seeds that Scott has introduced recently. For example, as soon as I changed to Vigoro seeds and that too in the middle of the summer in small patches that needed repair, the grass came out immediately.
I have no idea what Scott's is doing with their new grass seed, but it definitely doesn't work and I will from now on stay away from Scott's grass seeds. Their fertilizer still seems to work & I will continue with their fertilizer program.
Btw, I am not the only one having problems. I have heard similar reports from couple of friends of mine.

a little slow to germinate, but seems to be doing well overall
I have a number of shady areas where bermuda and even ordinary tall fescues have a hard time growing, so am hoping this blend will fill in those spots. Read more

Good stuff - worked as expected
The grass seed sprouted in the time range expected (one to two weeks), and grew pretty well. I have no complaints.

Like the seed coating.
The seed coating is white which is very good to see how homogeneous and how much you spread them. These seeds came out nicely. Read more

Amazing
With essentially no preparation, this stuff sprouted virtually overnight in a corner of our yard so dark that we were ready to give up on grass. Read more
