The Pronto Seed Premium Grass Seed is perfect for quick lawn repairs during the current heatwave to help eliminate dry brown patches, with customers raving about how fast it grows
Brits are struggling to keep their gardens lush as the heatwave brings unsightly bald spots and tatty brown patches to their lawns, but the rise in temperatures is, ironically, creating the perfect conditions for sowing new grass seed. Despite the intense heat, now is a prime opportunity to sow grass seed which will thrive in the warm weather, resulting in a fuller, richer lawn.
For those itching to see their lawns return to a vibrant green, Pronto Seed Food’s Super Speedy Grass Seed is praised for “delivering swift results”, with some customers seeing growth in just one week. It’s readily available, even for next-day delivery through Amazon Prime, with prices kicking off at £14.49 for a 1.4kg box.

This rapid-growth grass seed comes as a boon for hasty lawn restorations or completely fresh turf installations. The superior mix evolves into a durable, thick lawn that’s resistant to wear and tear from both pets and people, as well as capricious weather patterns.
Created specifically for the UK’s gardens, this blend can be planted any time from March to October. It boasts shade tolerance and thrives in areas with less-than-ideal soil nutrition, too.
The 1.4kg packet of Pronto seeds is capable of covering up to 84m2 for spreading on existing grass or 42m2 when laying down a brand-new lawn on prepped earth. This versatile seed is weather-resistant, making it suitable for use in both shady retreats and sunny corners alike.
The Pronto Super Speedy Lawn Seed is not only designed for rapid germination, claiming to offer coverage in just two weeks, but it can also withstand a fair amount of foot traffic, allowing gardens to remain functional post-seeding.
Amazon’s gardening section features a variety of lawn care products, including the popular Miracle-Gro Patch Magic Grass Seed, Feed and Coir. This product, which comes in a cost-effective 3.5kg bag priced at £28, has garnered over 11,000 reviews with customers describing it as “very effective” yet “a little pricey.”
For those with furry friends, Avern’s Dog Patch Grass Seed is an ideal choice, currently on offer for £12.49. Specially formulated to resist dog urine, this patch repair solution promises to restore the green lustre to new grass.
Meanwhile, B&Q offers a substantial 5kg bag of GardenersDream heavy duty grass seed for £32.49, touted as great value for money and perfect for both lawns and play areas. Amazon shoppers, however, have been quick to praise the Pronto Super Speedy Lawn Seed, awarding it a 4.2 out of 5-star rating from a whopping 21,000 reviews, reports the Express.
A satisfied customer shared their experience: “I recently purchased Pronto Seed Grass Seed to rejuvenate my lawn, and I am thrilled with the results! After carefully preparing my garden and ensuring the right conditions for growth, I can confidently say that this product has exceeded my expectations in delivering a lush, green lawn.”
A second impressed customer exclaimed: “Speedy is an understatement! Wow! Planted the Tuesday evening during the heatwave as I knew we would be getting some thundershowers in the next few days. Cannot believe the growth in one week! I have just filled in the patches, due to me spreading by hand, and can’t wait to see the end result.”
Yet another buyer who was initially dubious now says: “It really did start growing in under 14 days. I was sceptical, and nothing really happened before day 10, but it’s now day 13 and there’s a lot of grass coming up.”
However, not everyone was thrilled; a discerning consumer left a three-star critique: “The results were just okay, nothing special, and I didn’t notice that it grew faster than the normal grass seeds.”
Still, on the whole, gardeners seemed taken aback by the product’s success. Another satisfied purchaser mentioned: “Excellent product. Layed seed down covered with topsoil and watered. Results are amazing. Perfect for overseeding and patch repair.”
