Pennington Smart Seed Sun & Shade Mix, South Tall Fescue Grass Seed, 7 lb

This is some of the best grass seed that I have ever used. It always comes up.

Threw this out one day and couldn't get my sprinkler dialed in. We ended up have a couple of days of rain. When my yard guy come out about a week after I seeded, he called me ask what I used because is was already growing well.

I bought these seeds to put on a very shaded place in north Texas. I put the first batch mid March and had excellent germination rates. However, I put a second batch late March and did not germinate at all. The seeds that grew seems OK. They do not last where there is sun and they require lots of watering at first (twice daily for at least a month and then once daily for another one). I am now changing to every other day. I will try again in October when temperatures cool down and I’ll see if the ones that germinated can tolerate the summer heat.

I do not know anything about planting grass seed And have a black thumb, but this stuff was magical. Our house was elevated and so all of the grass was destroyed and sand was left in its place. I bought a bunch of different grass seed initially so I could see what if anything would grow. And this was the only one out of 5. I live in a very hot, sunny and humid place. A few times a week for about 3 weeks, I’d go throw some of this grass seed around the yard. I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect anything to grow, but my grass is back! Within a week I could see little sprouts of grass popping up everywhere. It’s on par with all of the other grass seed we priced but actually worked unlike the rest.

The grass never grew and company refused to honor warranty as shown on package

Wonderful grass, strong, harty and stay green

The seeds did not even begin to make roots to produce any grass at all and the bad part about then is that they just went into the ground and did not produce any grass at all. My money was wasted on seeds that did not work and yes I watered the yard regularly to try and boost growth, but nothing still. This item needs to be taken off the market, it is just robbery for us hard working individuals.

I needed coverage in an area that gets about 3 hours of sun but not all of the area at the same time. East side of house between fence and house. Sodded with St. Augustin last year but construction traffic took a toll and TX summer I could not save it. I planted the seed a week ago exactly and I could see sprouts coming up a couple of days ago. Here are photos today 1 week after sowing seed. Area with longest amount of sun coming up nicely. Areas where less length of sun coming up but slower. Area with very little sun, I can barely see any coming up. I csn only water once a day due to work. We had nice amount of rain on 4th day after planting. I would and will buy again. Updated. More photos at 14 days and 21 days. I will be buying this again in the spring for the other side of the house. Updated July 30, 2023. Could not take the North Texas heat. I water every other day and in the evening when there is no sun shining on the grass. It could not hold up. Very disappointed, I spent a lot of time watering and nurturing this seed on the side of my house that gets sun from 11am to 4pm.
