Even my tough yard grew well with this seed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been dry where I've been at so I put the grass seed where I needed it as it was bare in certain areas. It took a while to grow with the heat of the summer, but watering it regularly insured that the bare patches grew in. It's even more lush than the rest of my yard so I will definitely be adding this in every year before dry humid summer ruins my yard again.

Go-to grass seed for Kentucky lawns!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Grass Seed has been a great choice for my lawn here in central Kentucky. The seed covers a good area, and the grass has a nice coarse texture. Once it starts growing, it's impressive how well it holds up against drought and helps prevent erosion. In my opinion, the instructions for planting were clear and easy to follow, making the entire process straightforward.

Good seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this seed. Most of it germinated and while it is still young grass, my yard looks better. It was nice and green when it came up. There were some weeds mixed in but I was able to quickly pull them to make sure they didn't spread. This isn't the first bag of seed that I have used that has some other stuff mixed in so I was not shocked.

Pleased with results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue primarily on bare spots in our back yard. We struggle to grow grass there due, in part, to the many tree roots present. It germinated relatively quickly and I was pleased with the color and thickness. While it did not grow in all spots, I believe additional seedlings will produce the results that I desire. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product.

Would buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seeds compare nicely to other brands I have used. With correct watering, new grass sprouted within a few days. The grass is now thicker and filled in nicely. I received this product in exchange for an honest review.

Full of weed

I bought two bags of this and it was full of weed seed. Now I have to reseed and get rid of the weeds.

Great deal if for a brief time

Great deal but went quick my local Sam's ran out so I had to drive to Alpharetta. Even with the gas burned it still saved a bundle on several bags.

Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue is the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up with farmers and Kentucky 31 tall fescue was the most versatile, fast growing fescue around. It is especially good for yards and fields that have a lot of open fields around. We used the Pennington Kentucky 31 to fill in some bare spots in our back yard. Within a few days, we already had a great stand of grass. It is great seed!

Good seeds, poor packaging

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Grass Seed is an ideal option for our plant growing zone. It grows well and stands up to dry hot summers and hard clay soil. It goes dormant and returns I the spring and thrives and reseeds itself. The Pennington package was difficult to use. After cutting across the top with scissors, the bag tore down the side. I had to put it into a large ziplock bag to keep the seeds from spilling out. Be careful when opening. The seeds are easy to spread either with a spreader or by hand. They stay in place nicely and the birds don't eat them. After some time with rain, the grass grew well and filled in some bare spots.
