I have used this product in the past and have had great results. Did the same this year (growing season 2019) and like the other reviews, No result at all. Seed turned grey/white and has not germinated at all. Assuming it was a very bad batch of seed. Unfortunately all my hard work was all for naught. I have requested a refund of my purchase from Pennington. Not sure I will try another batch of the product again. Disappointed! I will say the customer service rep. was helpful and understanding and offered a refund. Better luck next time.

Bought this 20 lb bag of seed and followed the instructions on putting it on my lawn. But after about 14 days I noticed more clover growing than grass. With the rain we have had in the past few days, the clover is out pacing the grass. Now I have a yard with half clover and half grass. I doubt if I'll buy this brand again

I followed the directions to a T, watered every day at least once, used a starter fertilizer to enhance growth. In fourteen days I had the largest patch of electric green crabgrass I have ever seen!! Now I have to wait for fall, use a bagger lawnmower and cut the grass as low as possible, cut out all the crabgrass and start again with someone else's product. Doesn't look anything like the picture on the bag. Thanks for all the extra work, Pennington! Don't buy this junk unless you like crabgrass!!

Planted in an area previously covered with mulch....removed all mulch....worked in new soil: turf builder law soil....smoothed, spread seed, watered with hose....added bonus a couple of days of spring rain did the watering for me. Resumed hose watering....Seed still there and not a single blade of grass in sight after 2 weeks, maybe a bum bag?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After an intense heat wave with no rain for over two weeks, my yard was looking pretty abysmal. I purchased seeds sprouted within just a few days and now most of the yellow is gone! It's a great value for an affordable price and I would definitely buy it again if needed.

I must say, I had an incredibly disappointing experience with the Pennington Tall Fescue Grass Seed. It was, without a doubt, the worst grass seed I have ever used. I followed all the instructions diligently, planting it in late spring when the weather wasn't scorching hot and watering it twice a day as recommended. However, it took over a month for any signs of germination to appear, which was already frustrating. To my dismay, the results were far from what I had hoped for. Instead of a lush, green lawn, I now have half of my yard filled with stubborn weeds and the other half just barren dirt patches. It's incredibly disheartening to put in so much effort and money, only to end up with such a dismal outcome. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with the Pennington Tall Fescue Grass Seed. It failed to deliver on its promises, and I am left with a patchy mess instead of the beautiful lawn I envisioned. I will definitely be looking for a different grass seed brand in the future. Not happy at all with this purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this grass seed for a Influenster campaign. I was unable to post in the campaign so I thought I would review it here. The grass seed works quickly especially in shady areas and I would recommend it to anyone who has trouble growing grass in areas that have low sun.

Bought one bag last fall, sowed it broadcast-method in a sunny area where an enormous tree had been removed (and so the soil medium was half soil, half sawdust from the ground-up tree trunk/roots), and it began germinating in about 2 1/2 weeks; within a few more weeks, it made a lush, dark green lawn, and has only gotten lusher and thicker ever since. Some of the seeds got into a flower bed, and so I had the opportunity to dig up some of the new grass plants after they were a couple of months old, and examine them. The roots were surprisingly strong and deep into the ground, and the grass-plant was stocky and with rich dark green blades. I subsequently bought two more bags and sowed the seed in a skimpy existing lawn in a shady area; that too has now come up very thickly and I couldn't be more satisfied. In neither case of the above do I see weeds or clover in what came up, just the grasses indicated on the bag's list of what it contains. Thumbs up to Pennington!

I had a few bare spots in my front lawn that needed to be fixed. I followed the directions precisely. I used this product on one of the bare spots and another brands product on the other bare spots to compare the 2 products. The spots where the Pennington Sun & Shade seed was planted, is nothing but weeds! Not even a little grass has grown!! I tried reaching out to the company to get a refund because their bag states they guarantee their products work or your money back, but this still isn't resolved! I did a ton of research before picking a brand to go with because I cannot afford to waste any money. But that's what I ultimately did with this purchase was just threw my money away! So if someone from the company could direct me on how to make a claim against the products guarantee, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Purchased a 7lb bag to use and to my surprise, within 7-10 days the seeds were sprouting and I now have a yard that is nicely filled in. I followed the instructions on bag and I will purchase more bags in the near future. I tried other name brands in the past with no results.
