The premium mixture develops into a robust, luxuriant lawn that withstands heavy footfall from both pets and people, not to mention unpredictable British weather conditions.
Tailored specifically for the UK's gardens, this seed mix can be sown any time between March and October.
It demonstrates commendable shade tolerance and flourishes even in areas where soil nutrients are suboptimal, reports the Mirror.
A single 1.4kg package of Pronto seeds boasts enough coverage for up to 84m2 when seeding on existing grass or 42m2 for establishing a brand-new lawn on cleared soil.
This adaptable seed is designed to resist all manner of weather, making it perfect for every patch of your garden, from shaded nooks to sun-bathed terraces.
The Pronto Super Speedy Lawn Seed not only boasts rapid growth, promising a lush coverage in a mere two weeks, but it's also resilient enough to handle plenty of footfall, keeping gardens usable after seeding.
Over at Amazon's gardening section, you'll find an array of lawn care essentials, including the well-received Miracle-Gro Patch Magic Grass Seed, Feed and Coir. Priced at £30 for a 3.5kg bag, this product has attracted over 11,000 reviews, with customers praising its effectiveness despite noting it's "a little pricey."
Pet owners might be drawn to Avern's Dog Patch Grass Seed, currently priced at £12.49. This seed mix is specifically designed to resist damage from dog urine and promises to bring back the green sheen to new grass.
B&Q, on the other hand, is offering a hefty 5kg bag of GardenersDream heavy duty grass seed for £32.49, which is considered great value for money and suitable for both lawns and play areas.
Yet, it's the Pronto Super Speedy Lawn Seed that's been stealing the show on Amazon, securing a 4.2 out of 5-star rating based on an impressive 21,000 reviews.
One customer recounted their positive 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 delighted customer enthused: "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."
Another initially sceptical buyer admitted: "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."
But not everybody was overjoyed, one particular consumer left a three-star review stating: "The results were just okay, nothing special, and I didn't notice that it grew faster than the normal grass seeds."
Nevertheless, the overall response from garden enthusiasts has been overwhelmingly positive. Another happy user remarked: "Excellent product. Layed seed down covered with topsoil and watered. Results are amazing. Perfect for overseeding and patch repair."

Scale of Storm Floris disruption as travel cancelled and 100mph gusts hit
Storm Floris has reached Wales with strong winds hammering sections of the Welsh coastline. North Wales has been the most badly affected area in Wales, with the Met Office urging residents in Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and Anglesey to secure their properties and brace for power outages. Drivers have been warned to look out for fallen debris, whilst sudden gusts may unsettle vehicles on exposed routes. Limitations were imposed on the A55 Britannia Bridge as well as the M48 Severn Bridge owing to the fierce winds. Railway services are also being axed due to Storm Floris, with operations between Llandrindod and Llanelli have been halted due to a fallen tree on the line at Pontarddulais. Images show people braving the conditions in north Wales and other parts of the UK. While south Wales has not been subject to a weather warning, areas have seen heavy rain and strong winds throughout Monday morning and into the afternoon, including in Caerphilly. Western coastal areas of the UK bore the brunt with police in Scotland saying they had received "multiple reports" of campervans being blown over on the A87 between Broadford and Portree on Skye, while in Aberdeenshire the A96 is closed in both directions near Old Rayne because of several fallen trees. Festivals in the Edinburgh area have also been disrupted, with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, a ceilidh event on Princes Street Gardens and the Fringe by the Sea in North Berwick all cancelled on Monday as a result of the expected high winds. A yellow weather warning for wind remains in place until 11.59pm on Monday night, covering Scotland and Northern Ireland, large past of the north of England, and Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and Anglesey in north Wales. Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024-25 naming season, which runs from early September to late August. January's Storm Eowyn was the most recent. You can see images from Storm Floris captured on Monday in north Wales and other parts of the UK below.

'Sturdy' post supports are perfect for repairing fences damaged by Storm Floris
This clever fix is now 17% off, down to £29.99 from £35.99 Weather warnings have been issued across northern England and Scotland this week, with Storm Floris expected to bring heavy rains and strong winds over the next couple of days. With bad weather on the horizon, many homeowners may need to repair their fences, especially as they're often the first to fall victim to strong gusts. For those worried about their fences taking a beating, these post-repair fence supports from Amazon are currently 17% off, reduced from £35.99 to £29.99. While they won't arrive before the storm hits, they're handy to have for quick repairs or reinforcement once the weather clears. Made from durable steel, the supports are designed to keep fence posts straight and secure. They install easily into the ground using a mallet or hammer, and feature pre-drilled holes so you can screw the posts in tightly with a drill. Lisa Snowdon loves this hair serum that's 'must have for hair loss' now 20% off The new ghd curling range provides 'all-day hold' and leaves hair 'shiny and smooth' They're powder-coated to prevent rust and built to resist breaking or warping over time, making them ideal for long-term protection. They'd also work for wobbly railings, too. Shop the range £35.99 £29.99 Amazon Buy Now on Amazon Product Description Elsewhere, Wickes also stocks a similar product, the Steel Fence Repair Spur (£21 each). One happy shopper said: "Great product, easy to use and works well." B&Q is another retailer to consider, offering a decent-sized range of post-damage solutions. This two pack of supports is priced at £45.95. Over at Amazon, the fence posts don't have many reviews, but they have a decent 4.6-star average rating. One person said: "I bought these to repair two fence posts that were starting to rot at ground level. Good sturdy product and installed each in about 5 minutes using a 5lb hammer and a block of wood to protect the repair stake from the hammer blows." However, they noted: "You may struggle if you don't have a heavy hammer. The repair stakes are not cheap, but a lot less expensive and much easier than replacing fence posts." Meanwhile, someone else said: "Does exactly what it should do." And someone else piped up: "Great for a small job." However, this mixed review reads: "Put one in for extra holding power. Unfortunately, some of my posts are in larger areas, so I can't put the spike close enough to the post. But worked well and seems very sturdy for the one I could do." Another reviewer gave it a five-star review, but noted: "Easy to use, but just make sure it goes in the ground straight."

BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay's urgent warning to Scots as he issues 'breaking news' alert
Jon Kay co-hosted Monday's BBC Breakfast alongside Luxmy Gopal and had an urgent warning for Scots viewers BBC Breakfast commenced with breaking news on Monday, August 4, as Jon Kay and Luxmy Gopal presented the day's leading stories and updates to viewers. Jon opened the BBC show with an urgent weather update. He declared that Storm Floris is set to sweep across parts of the UK throughout the day. "Morning everybody. It's Monday, 4th August and Storm Floris is set to hit Scotland, northern England, North Wales and Northern Ireland today, with winds of up to 85 miles per hour forecast for higher ground and some coastal areas," Jon told viewers who had tuned in. Luxmy, who is currently filling in for Sally Nugent, added: "A Met Office yellow warning has just come into effect, as forecasters warn of unusually windy weather for this time of year." Jon cautioned Scottish residents about the severe conditions, saying: "Meanwhile, an amber warning, meaning there's a danger to life, will also be in place for some parts of Scotland from 10 o'clock this morning." Jon briefly handed over to BBC senior journalist Alice Key, before colleague Mairead Smyth took over, reporting live from Preston train station to demonstrate how the weather was impacting rail services. However, it was Jamie Mcivor, BBC's Scotland correspondent, who provided vital updates for BBC audiences as he delivered the latest weather reports from the coastal town of Gourock, according to the Mirror. Jamie, battling the conditions, declared: "Well, as you can see, it's certainly wet and miserable at the moment. There has been a night of heavy rainfall in much of Scotland and some difficult driving conditions. "But, of course, it's the severe wind later which is going to cause the major disruption." He continued regarding specifics about the looming weather, as he noted: "The amber weather warning, due to come into force at 10 o'clock this morning, covering much of Scotland from Central Belt up, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Tayside, the Northeast and Highland areas off the west coast." Highlighting the consequences for transport, Jamie observed: "The big effect of the severe weather will be travel disruption, there will be no trains north of the Central Belt from 12pm onwards." BBC Breakfast viewers were left baffled over why Jamie was broadcasting his live report amid the turbulent weather, with some labelling the decision as "pointless". On Twitter one viewer slammed: "#bbcbreakfast are really over hyping the normal wet and windy day that Scotland is going to have today. Daft BBC presenter Jamie McIvor is pointlessly standing out in the rain." Another viewer proposed: "The weather reporter might wants to go inside (health and safety and all that)," whilst another voiced confusion: "I will never understand why you send reporters out to somewhere that has a treat to life warning."
