User questions & answers

Question:	Can this grass get too much sun? Some parts of my lawn get full sun while others very little and I'd like to use one type for overseeding
Answer:	I have a small area (about 12x15) that gets very little sun due to trees and shrubbery. I tried this grass seed twice with no luck. However, to be fair, even other shade grass seeds didn't do well there either so it may work fine somewhere else.
Question:	Does it contain Kentucky Blue Grass
Answer:	It's tall fescue & kentucky mostly tall fescue
Question:	Is this suitable for Seattle washington area
Answer:	I used it in Anchorage Alaska and though it took a little longer to initially sprout (probably due to temps) it has done really well and is now the most dense patch and green area of of grass in my lawn even though it is in the shade and so far year 1 seems to be winning against the chick-weed. So I plan on spreading some across my entire lawn next year hoping to thicken it up.
Question:	What type of grass seed is this? Centipede, st augustine
Answer:	Mixture of perennial rye,fescue.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the seed perennial or will I need to repeat seeding every Spring
Answer:	I am in temperate Northern California. I used this in a fairly shading back yard in specific areas. I got very little growth and would have to re seed this year as those areas are all bare....again.
Question:	Will this grass work in myrtle beach sc
Answer:	I cannot speak to Myrtle Beach, but here in temperate California, I had very little success with this product having placed it in my shady back yard. Had very little growth.
Question:	What type of seed is this Seed
Answer:	Grass seed. It is a thin bladed grass that does well in the shade. Not St Augustine or Bermuda. St Augustine doesn't seed it grows from plugs or sod. Bermuda grows from seed. Both are great for sunny lawns. St Augustine does well in humid climates and Bermuda does well in dry weather. This seed does well in the shade
Question:	What type of grass is this
Answer:	Our Pennington 1 Step Complete Dense Shade Mulch consists of a blend of the following fescues: Tall Fescue, Creeping Fescue, & Chewing Fescue. Thanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What month is best to apply bare spot repair mix?

The best time to repair bare spots in your lawn will depend on the type of grass and climate in which it is being planted. Most warm-season grasses should be planted in late spring to early summer, while cool-season grasses are better repaired in the fall. However, before repairing your bare spots, we recommend that you ensure that soil is healthy. Patchy spots are sometimes indicative of unhealthy soil. A frequent cause of this can be from pet urination.

How do I fix bare spots caused by dog urine?

If the bare spot was caused by dog urine, water thoroughly prior to planting. Flushing the area will dilute the concentrated salts and help the seed fully establish.

Are One Step Complete products harmful to pets?

We have no reason to believe that our One Step Complete products are harmful to pets. It includes fertilizer so we recommend that the product is watered in and has thoroughly dried before allowing pets to re-enter the area.

Step 1: Prepare

Remove debris, then rake the soil to loosen and smooth the top layer.

Step 2: Apply

Spread seeding mix approximately 1 cup per sq. ft. everywhere thick, beautiful grass is desired.

Step 3: Water

This is the most important step! Keep the soil moist by watering daily (twice a day if you have to) until grass sprouts and reaches about 3" tall.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone planted this seed in Denver, Colorado? When and was it successful
Answer:	Complete failure. Nothing grew out of this bag.
Question:	How long did it take to see grass from seed
Answer:	Put down in bare, shady area with no straw, watered daily, the grass began to come up sporadically in 14-18 days. Put down in the same conditions with straw put down over it, watered daily, grass began to come up well within a few days. No fertilizer. 2 months later, grass still looks great.
Question:	I ordered Pennington smart seed for sun and shade. I also ordered scotts turf builder fertilizer with weed and feed. can i use them together
Answer:	No. You should only use starter seed fertilizer with new grass seed.
Question:	is this seed for fall in new jersey
Answer:	Yes, this is a good seed, but it takes work. I used Scott’s thicker lawn and added a ton of seed to it. The soil conditioners in it plus more seed, plus dethatching/ roughing up soil and covering with weed free straw on bare areas yielded very good results. With that being said, perrenial rye dies off in summer, and I used for bare areas, and bare again. But I have a 80lb dog that is a force to contend with. I try to add a lot of Kentucky Blue in the fall, as its the best time to grow, and spreads, but seems more susceptible to disease. I am in Monmouth County, NJ, and we had a lot of rain this year, and last fall..fall was great to grow grass, as was the mild tempuratures thru November. I had problems with moss and fungus due to so much rain this spring/summer. I dumped a ton of pertenial rye for erosion control, and it grew far taller than creeping fescues and Kentucky Blue on a weekly basis, then died. I have determined growing grass is a losing battle as every weed seems to thrive and grass dies. I am ready to hardscape front lawn and put artificial turf in backyard and give up. If neighbors have weeds, and/or unkept sidewalk strips of grass turn to weed, it is a yearly event, and after 7 years of regrowing lawn to watch die and become full of weeds...I am certain that grass seed/ maintenance is as painful as buying $60 ink cartridges for a $150 printer, endless expense. Printer just costs money, grass requires hard labor tons of chemicals, and expensive lawn service, none that works with keeping my dog healthy. So, I am killing off grass with lymphoma causing round-up and throwing in the towel and hope that no grass = next year only killing weeds in shrub beds. Artificial turf hopefully with hose and cleaner will be conducive to dog’s bathroom and since my front lawn slopes, I am taking advantage of it and building retaining walls with shrub beds, and then on perimeter adding mulch beds with Skip Laurels and a few more trees and bingo, good-bye grass seed, fertilizers, weed killers, lime, etc. I have had sod installed three times in 7 years, and overseed, etc.. I hate lawns now, I yanked out a lot if lawn and replaced with river rock, looks pretty but trees like mulch better, so rock in backyard so my dog is not running through daily and mulch and will weed front, the weeds are much more hearty than the barriers put down to prevent them. But yes this is a fall or spring season grass. I do not blame seed, I blame the soil, prep work, maintenance, mother nature (insects/weather) and surrounding weeds spreading like a herpes virus for grass failure. Hope you have better luck than me!

User questions & answers

Question:	would it look natural as a "filler" with existing grass? - I have patches in my centipede possibly because of over-shaded areas
Answer:	This Pennington grass will grow in your overly-shaded area, keep it watered until it’s well established. It will look different than centipede grass, however it grows well and it’s green. That’s a win to me.
Question:	Best time to put down in Michigan? Spring or fall
Answer:	Fall but it's now going to be too cold in Michigan. The seeds will freeze at night. However, Pennington is great in spring as well......so if you have already had your frost, wait until spring. This winter will be below average in temps and above average in snowfall, so if you want to wait until spring that is totally okay as it will just go to waste if you do it now. Warmer zones are even getting their first Frost Advisories already. I will say this is the best grass seed on the market. I wouldn't use any other brand. Pricey but high quality and you get what you pay for. It is 200% worth it.
Question:	Is it organic
Answer:	Hi - No, it is not certified organic. Thank you.

Product description

Tall fescue is valued for its adaptability to a wide range of climates and its tolerances for cold, heat, drought and shade. Ideal for the northern and transition zones, Pennington The Rebels Tall Fescue has represented the finest quality of tall fescue on the market for decades.This grass is tough. It has thick, deep, and dense roots that result in excellent drought and traffic tolerance.

This 3-pound bag covers up to 750 square feet for overseeding an existing lawn and 250 square feet for starting a new lawn from scratch.The Roots of the Rebels Brand dates back to 1979, when turf researchers at Rutgers University released a revolutionary new grass. Known as 'Rebel,' it was the very first example of what's now known as turf-type tall fescue. Compared to traditional tall fescue, Rebel offered lower growth, finer texture, darker color and denser turf — plus the drought tolerance that makes turf-type tall fescue a homeowner favorite. Generations later, with up to 40 percent more roots than ordinary grass, The Rebels Brand Extended Root seed varieties represent the best turf-type tall fescue on the market. With roots like those, it's only natural that The Rebels Brand carries the Pennington name.

User questions & answers

Question:	can purchase now, store, and plant in spring
Answer:	I would check he expiration date on the package. If it's "good" until the spring of 2023, I'm certain that it's OK to purchase it now.....especially if it's on sale. By the way, the product is fantastic. The new grass blended in perfectly with the old grass. It's doing super well. I highly recommend the product.
Question:	Live in central fl. can i plant now? we do get a freeze here and there
Answer:	I'm positive that you can plant the seeds now. Colder weather will only slow the germination process. It may take a few more days before you see the seedlings. By the way, the product is excellent. I used it to repair my grass because of major new landscaping. It turned out beautifully, completely covering the planted area. Once fully grown, it blended perfectly with the "old" grass.
