I have been trying to get grass on one side of my house for years. I bought this and it quickly grew everywhere but where it was rock and clay. This year i hauled in dirt then seeded. In only two weeks i have a lot of grass growing. I live in the DFW metroplex and this grass stayed green all winter. It is also very soft. I will admit that when i seed i seed with a go big or go home philosophy. It works. Grass is great! Very little sunlight in between the houses. Review: Solid product, lush lawn, grew well even in a chronic problem area! - Had a chronic problem area along the side of the house where it NEVER gets sunlight due to the shade from the building and some large trees. I had tried various other seeds and planting solutions. This is the one that finally came through! High quality seeds that germinated fully and provided a lush lawn. They take a while to grow.. not for the impatient among us. Plus make sure you use some peat moss to cover the seeds initially so they stay moist and don't get eaten by the birds.. But after a couple weeks the sprouts came up and within another week or two the lawn looked great and it's been over three months now and looks wonderful. We even had a large family party a couple of weeks ago and the lawn stood up to lot of foot traffic. Very happy with this seed and will use it again! ## Features - The perfect mix of Tall Fescue and Fine Fescue to thrive in shady conditions - Grow thick, green grass in areas of your lawn that don't receive much sunlight - Contains just the right amount of fertilizer to help your lawn succeed - Requires only 2 to 6 hours of sunlight - Disease and traffic-resistant for a strong, durable lawn ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QCFWWMV | | Best Sellers Rank | #458 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #8 in Grass Seed | | Brand Name | Pennington | | Color | Green | | Container Material | Plastic | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (4,776) | | Expected Blooming Period | Spring | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00021496022628 | | Included Components | Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix Bag 7 lb | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Type Name | Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix | | Item Weight | 7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100543703 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | If you are not satisfied, please let us know why and contact us about a refund.

Why isn't the seed tag shown on the pictures? What is the mixture?** A: Great job on video for the seed tag/grass seed mix. Basically ~38% Fescue, the rest is not grass seed. This stuff does come up well in the shade, but like with most of the seeds now, you are getting less than 50% seed when you pay and the rest is inert ingredients in the form of fertilizer and coating. It was nice when a 5 pound bag of grass seed contained 5 pounds of grass seed... **Q: Is this product good to use in st Augustine grass?** A: The problem in planting it in St. Augustine is that the blades are different and the color is much deeper green. **Q: Is this grass good with dogs who and play in the area put?** A: I am not having a lot of luck with this grass so no it would not be good for dogs. **Q: What are the actual grass varieties?** A: Nearly all tall fescue varieties. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this grass *by E***. on March 24, 2026* I love this grass.

After a few months I thought that it would have filled in more. Still, the quality is good and there seemed to be very few weeds. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix Bag 7 lb - Pennington Smart Seed Sun and Shade Grass Mix 7 lb - Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix, Combination Seed and Fertilizer, Grows Green Grass in Just Weeks, 5.6 lbs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/273542161-pennington-smart-seed-dense-shade-grass-mix-bag-7-lb](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/273542161-pennington-smart-seed-dense-shade-grass-mix-bag-7-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
