## Description

Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue helped revolutionize the grass seed industry. This durable, heat-tolerant variety was an early leader in putting low-maintenance, disease-resistant lawns within the average homeowner’s reach. Decades later, this economical, traditional tall fescue grass remains an industry standard for cool-season lawn grasses. This tough, drought-resistant grass thrives in lawns that receive 4 to 8 hours of sun. Plant it in the early spring or early fall and start to see results within 8 to 21 days. This 40-pound bag covers up to 8,000 square feet for overseeding an existing lawn and 3,330 square feet for starting a new lawn from scratch. While most grass seed companies buy their seed on the open market, we are the only major grass seed company that works directly with a network of dedicated growers. Built on decades of trust and integrity, our relationships with seed growers and their families now span multiple generations. Our legacy of working directly with farmers to bring you the finest grass seed possible helps ensure their success and ours. At Pennington, we know our seed and the farmers who grow it. From field to final product, that's the Pennington way.

Review: I should've bought it much sooner... - 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.
Review: I will buy it again 😃 - 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....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Questionable certification but clarified as a typo by customer service, it’s growing
*by B***N on August 17, 2025*

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.
