Review: Grass grows in NO direct sunlight. - The seeds did not sprout quickly, but we figured out that the sprinkler system was washing the seeds away with its force. With a little modification of the water supply, we suddenly had surprisingly good new grass growth, and are delighted to finally have grass in the part of the lawn that NEVER gets direct sunlight. It was easy to prepare the ground, spread the seed, and follow up. We're delighted. Review: Overseeding My Lawn - With several bare spots in my lawn, I decided to overseed in the fall for fuller, greener grass next spring. The photo was taken 8 days after planting and you can easily see new grass emerging. The spot in the photo was completely bare but other parts of the yard had some grass mixed with some bare spots. The Pennington grass seed mix did well in both areas. This mixture had fertilized included; I would have preferred just seed and no fertilize. Without fertilize already in the mix I could have matched it to what the soil test said I needed instead of what the seed company added for general purpose. Now I’ll have to wait until the grass is established and retest the soil to see what type of additional fertilize may be needed. ## Features - Save up more water year after year with Pennington Smart Seed mix versus ordinary Kentucky blue grass seeds for lawn - This bag of plant seed covers up to 1,750 sq. ft. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QCGQJT9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,306 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #9 in Grass Seed | | Brand | Pennington | | Brand Name | Pennington | | Color | Green | | Container Material | Plastic | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 5,472 Reviews | | Expected Blooming Period | Fall | | Expected Plant Height | 3 inches | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Included Components | Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix 3 lb | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Type Name | Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100543702 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | If you are not satisfied, please let us know why and contact us about a refund.
