100% Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Penkoted Grass Seed 3 lb

Use two 7-pound bags But the first bag didn't sprout because the 1.Santa Ana winds got very, very strong, 2.The birds 3.I didn't put soil in it. So if you want it to grow, make sure you put soil in it, water it very well, and watch out for birds....

I had Harry Crab Grass growing in my yard and had let it get too large after landscapers just kept saying mowing more often would help. Side Note: It doesn't. Anyway, as I'm pulling up these clumps, I knew I needed to replace with something or I was going to have giant open spots. Worse, I was weeding in the fall... that wasn't my motivator for choosing this grass. I'm in North Carolina, so I have that clay soil mix and is prone to weeds. NC stays milder, staying in the 60s and 70s sometimes into December with bouts of 50s. After pulling the weeds, I just grabbed a handful and spread it into the soil, honestly not expecting it to grow. After some rain, I was shocked to find it did grow... in November. It is that beautiful grass that everyone wants as their front lawn. Incredibly green, soft, and perfect shoots, it blew my expectations out of the water. I've started yanking out my Bermuda grass (which I swear is the white kid dreadlocks of grass; ugly, vine-like, abrasive and best left for cattle and horses). Some of it hasn't grown, but I'm going to give it through spring and probably add more. Water is key and it did best when the soil was tilled up, green in the soil that now was loose and empty from weed pulling. I just took my hand and lightly worked it through until it was barely visible. It did not do as well where it ended up more on top of the soil than in it. I can't wait for spring. I'm going to go nuts on my backyard with this stuff!

UPDATE 9/20: It grows. It’s a bit finicky to conditions but once you figure it out, it does well. All of my experience was out of the same bag so it’s all the same seed. Seed that was worked by hand into the soil layer in very small bare spots of a few inches in diameter that were largely shaded by the surrounding grass were growing in under a week and 4 inches tall in 2 weeks. In contrast, seed that was worked into the soil in larger areas (say 6” diameter) just sat there and did nothing with the same watering schedule. After adding additional top soil to those areas and blending the seeds into it, the seed did start to grow a few weeks later and once it gets going, it grows pretty quickly. If you are having problems getting it going, it does not respond well to just spreading on bare soil or even lightly raking it in. You need a lot of soil contact preferably complete coverage and high level of shade / darkness either with a serious top dressing or straw cover. And yes, you need to keep it moist. When it comes up, it’s very fine bladed so you are not going to want much if any traffic on it in large ares until it stars to mature. In the smaller spots, it was fine mowing over it from day one. In the medium sized areas in the sun, it appears to be more vigorous and less water sensitive than the surrounding grass but until it matures that may not be a fair comparison. The local drought and very abnormal 90 degree temps this time of the year is not making this any easier but with adequate prep and water, it’s germinating as well as any other seed I have used. UPDATE 8/19: Customer service was fast to respond ! They confirmed the test date was a typo. Based on the lot number, the test date should have been April-2025 not 2026. So, I have started using the seed. Will check back in a month or so about how well it’s going. Moving from the initial 2 stars to 4 stars for now. Original Review: Just got this to start some patch work now then a complete over-seeding in a few weeks. The test date shows April 2026. Yes, that’s 8 month in the future. The expiration date is Jan 2026, 3 months BEFORE the test date. The germination test rate shows only 80%, that’s not very good. Has someone just taken old stock and dummied up a new label ? Maybe just a simple mistake … maybe a bag of junk. This wasn’t cheap. Be careful on this stuff.

Received March 28th, planted a few days later and it's growing. We are having crazy weather 29 one day 57 the next, 70 the next but this grass seed stuck it out. Good stuff.

UTTER GARBAGE!! This seed just will not germinate. I've tried to grow it in multiple places while following their directions to to the letter. I missed the 30 day return window by 6 days After calling Amazon Customer service and repeatedly explaining my situation and the suggested germination window (8-20 days) I received the patented ( Sorry but it's outside the return window) response. So Amazon gets a big F and Pennington receives the same. I was barely able to understand the representative and Im pretty sure she didn't understand me. This is getting to be a common theme with Amazon. China is sending us Landfill for merchandise and other companies seem to be sending their 2nds or rejected products. My attempt to contact Pennington resulted in a “ Contact Amazon Customer Service” reply Well good luck, I will be buying local from Now on. Lesson learned I've included their instructions and a pic of tag All areas were straw covered and kept damp. I'm over 20 days in both areas. Nothing!!! Stay away!!! Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue:Preparation: • Choose an area with 4-8 hours of sun (works in partial shade too) • Loosen soil with a garden rake and soak the area thoroughly • Remove debris and bare spots Planting: • Spread the seed evenly across the prepared area (covers up to 8,000 sq ft for overseeding or 3,330 sq ft for new lawn) • For best results, apply it slightly thicker in bare patches • Lightly cover with existing soil if available (optional but helps) Watering & Timeline: • Water in the morning and evening faithfully until established • Keep soil moist (not soggy) for the first few weeks • Expect to see results in 8-21 days under ideal conditions Best Planting Times: • Early spring or early fall when soil temps are 50-65°F (daytime temps 80°F and below) Pro Tip: Customers report success even in sandy soil—just add a bit of bagged soil to help retain moisture if needed.Want tips on caring for the grass after it germinates?

I'm not sure about the grass seeds. I don't know if it's the grass seeds or the birds were eating them up because they definitely are not working too well. The ground was raked well, not too large of an area, straw put on it, and water but they don't seem to be wanting to work. So again it wasn't how they were applied. Did it properly, know how to plant grass? Just don't understand why they're not coming up.. Could be the birds or the squirrels? I don't know if they eat seeds or not but noticed a lot of them hanging around the spot , something's wrong. Was it the seeds or something else. I probably wouldn't buy these again just in case that's just me.

Bought for kindergarten experiment bc of it being a quick growing seed and it didn't disappoint the kids! I brought it home nearly the whole bag and I'm experimenting with growing it where we have no grass and it's going so well. I'm in the Houston area sandy soil, watering by hand once a day in addition to any rain. For 9 bucks, give it a shot.

I first bought Pennington last year to fill-in two large bald spots in my lawn. One was from the removal of a tree. I watered it each evening and it came in filling both. My new neighbor put up a fence, in March, and the fence company's workers tore up my lawn near it since they had to attach it from my property. I reseeded the area several times and it is slowly filling in. It is also a good alternative to Scotts.
