I put down some Arden 15 in early April and finally in may the soil temps consistently above 65 degrees and daytime highs in 80 and 90s. Problem I am having is the growth is slow and some spots none at all. I was going to buy another bag but Hancock seed has discontinued the Arden 15 and days Yukon is almost the same ????? Yukon and Arden 15 together probably won't look good and I can't do another complete overhaul . Anyone know why this seed is getting shutdown ? Also if I get it p percent coverage will this type of grass spread fast enough so I won't have to try a new seee this summer ?

I am starting at o see good growth I may just hold off for a month and see how it goes we had 3-4 days in a row of humid high 80 and low 99 days with lows in upper 70s the soil temps have now hit 70 at night and low 80s during the day.




The big bare spots was where a tree was at and near the house which is shaded by the roof.

I heard that a newer verity is replacing it. No one has updated their sites yet because they are waiting in the information. I'm planning on plugging anyway but I was thinking about an overseed with Arden 15...until I saw no one had any so I called around and was told its being changed again!

Arden 15 is produced by Pennington Seed's. I talked with several vendors around the country and apparently they are completely out of stock and that's why you can't find it anywhere. Due to supply shortages, labor shortages, etc... they just simply didn't have the volume to distribute. I'm not sure if it will be replaced or not, but it's currently not being produced.

What sprinkler is that?

From Pennington Seed:

Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting Pennington Seed. Arden 15 is no longer available. Bermuda Triangle, Tierre Verde or Mohawk are comparable until a replacement for Arden 15 is produced and I do not have a timeline available of when that will be.

Thank you,
