Pennington Kentucky 31 Fescue 40 LB Tall Fescue Grass Seed, Grass Seeds for Lawn

Takes a bit to sprout but once it does it grows pretty fast if you keep it watered. Only started a test patch where there hasn't been grass in years (back - Northern - edge of the house, under the shade of a large maple tree). Feel confident enough in it to tune-up the rototiller! Coated so the birds won't bother it.

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....

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.

Produces in no time at all. Great for patching areas when needed. Dogs love it.

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!!!

Fair germination rate and must keep watered.

This Pennington tall fescue seed works fantastic for overseeding and patching up the yard. What makes it even better is the price—it is way cheaper here than at Home Depot for the same 3 lb bag. The seeds germinated fast and the grass is coming in thick and green. Super happy with both the savings and the results!

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.
