Great Easy To Use Seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pennington Smart Seed Sun & Shade mix is an easy to use grass seed that can not only make your lawn look great you can use up to 30% less water on your lawn. Super easy to spread in a traditional spreader and a little goes a very long way. Saw great results after about two weeks and can't wait to see my lawn in another month. If your new to grass seed or want something really simple to use and maintain this is the seed mix for you!

Great Brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in a northern state so it doesn't get warm here until later in the year. I have yet to try this product due to the climate where I live. I will probably begin next month using it. However, I work at a nursery and get asked all the time if we carry this particular brand of grass seed. It seems to be in high demand if so many people are asking for it. I am excited to use it next month and hope it generates the results everyone says it does.

WASTED MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!

I bought a 20lb bag of Sun and Shade mix and put it down on my lawn which was mowed as low as possible. A large section of my yard was mostly dirt / soil. I put the seeds down on my lawn and after about 10 days i started noticing green coming up. Some was grass but after closer look I noticed that almost all of the green was actually clover growing. I'm so discussed and will probably buy this brand again.

sun and shade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grass seed was perfect for a portion of my yard that is partly shaded for some of the day and gets sun as well. The packaging was good quality and the instructions were clear. Have seen growth in 2 weeks already.

Seeing good results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grass seed was easy to apply. I used a seed/fertilizer spreader to spread it evenly, right before a rain storm. That was over a week ago, and I'm already seeing new grass starting to grow! The rest of my lawn looks so healthy and green. I would use this product again.

REALLY effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few weeks ago, I tried filling in some bare areas in my yard with a grass mix that screwed onto a water hose. Did not work at all. I spread the Pennington seeds three and a half days ago in a mostly shared area and there's already growth!!! I'm genuinely shocked! This bag will last forever- absolutely worth the price. If you have bare spots or shaded areas that need some TLC, buy this!!

Great seed, grows quick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me just start by saying my hubby loves taking care of the yard so he is the one who used this product. He had already grown all the grass in our front yard from seed but still uses seed to fill in spots they have died for various reasons. In our backyard we do not have grass yet because there are areas that are in the hot sun all day and areas that are shaded all day so we were looking for a seed that would do well in both areas. Along comes this seed labeled sun and shade! So he was very excited to try this product. He did a test patch in a shady spot in the backyard as well as using it to fill in dead spots in the front yard. This grass grew well in both situations. And it grows fast! In about 2 days you start to see tiny little green sprouts growing from the dirt and about 2 weeks it's completely filled in. The first pic shows the front yard and the second shows the test patch he did in the backyard. Considered he did not till the dirt for the test patch or do anything to prep the ground I think it grew pretty well! He will be tackling the whole back yard this summer so he will definitely be using Pennington!

Good grass seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. We have had hard time growing grass under our aimer maple tree. It looks like we have some decent sprouts, but I will say I can't give a full review on until the next four weeks. But for what it's worth, if you're looking for a review now it seems okay.

ideal for all yards

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grass seed is ideal for our yard, because there are a lot of shaded areas. The price was actually very reasonable. The packaging is great the bag is heavy duty so you don't have to worry about it ripping. I love how green the grass is that came in! I highly recommend this brand they have great product.[product:pennington-grass-seed-smart-seed-sun-&-shade]

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The downside to this product is more due to the fickle weather of Michigan in April. It hasnt stayed warm continously enough for the seeds to really do their thing. The unexpected temperature drops and freezing rains didnt allow much to sprout or grow. We will attempt another round once it stays in the 50s or warmer.
