Review: Had a chronic problem area along the side of the house where it NEVER gets sunlight due to the shade from the building and some large trees. I had tried various other seeds and planting solutions. This is the one that finally came through! High quality seeds that germinated fully and provided a lush lawn. They take a while to grow.. not for the impatient among us. Plus make sure you use some peat moss to cover the seeds initially so they stay moist and don't get eaten by the birds.. But after a couple weeks the sprouts came up and within another week or two the lawn looked great and it's been over three months now and looks wonderful. We even had a large family party a couple of weeks ago and the lawn stood up to lot of foot traffic. Very happy with this seed and will use it again!
Review: I would give zero stars, followed the instructions for planting that was listed on the bag and went above and beyond, watered for several days, it's been 14 days now and not one single seed has germinated of approximately 2k square feet I can't find even one blade of new grass I did contact the manufacturer through the desertcart return section, the company has returned the contact Email with a reference number, they want a whole list of information before they'll do a refund, I mean several Questions that require a return answer, one is a picture of the barcode on the bag ( will that got trashed the day I planted the seeds ) , I emailed them back and asked if they also wanted my first born child and my right nut,,, ridiculous, I told them to just keep the $30 and to keep their worthless products, too much of a hassle. Just go to tractor supply and get your seeds, but don't buy Pennington brands Update 03/24/2025 I suppose I'm gonna have to eat crow, I give it 5 stars,21 days later after planting and it appears that all of the seeds have germinated and looking very good. Have a good day

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much of this product is actually grass seed?  Why isn't the seed tag shown on the pictures?  What is the mixture?**
A: Great job on video for the seed tag/grass seed mix. Basically ~38% Fescue, the rest is not grass seed. 
This stuff does come up well in the shade, but like with most of the seeds now, you are getting less than 50% seed when you pay and the rest is inert ingredients in the form of fertilizer and coating. It was nice when a 5 pound bag of grass seed contained 5 pounds of grass seed...

**Q: Is this product good to use in st Augustine grass?**
A: The problem in planting it in St. Augustine is that the blades are different and the color is much deeper green.

**Q: Is this grass good with dogs who and play in the area put?**
A: I am not having a lot of luck with this grass so no it would not be good for dogs.

**Q: What are the actual grass varieties?**
A: Nearly all tall fescue varieties.
