Make your yard the go-to spot for outdoor celebrations with this bag of Pennington Kentucky 31 tall fescue grass seed. The seeds feature Penkoted coating that protects seedlings from soil born diseases and insects, and produce a light green, drought-resistant turf grass. This cool-season grass seed should be planted during the early spring or fall in temperatures of 61 to 70°F. They grow best in fully sunny to partly shaded areas and produce a clumping growth pattern with coarse to medium-textured grass for a dense, lush yard. Its drought and foot-traffic tolerance prevent bare spots caused by lack of rain or footsteps. A 6 to 10 day germination period improves your grass quality and provides a durable, economical lawn without the wait.

Delivery sucks

Ordered this with the guarantee of delivery by a certain day. The day of delivery I get a message saying the estimated delivery has changed and will now be several days later. This was planned for a specific time to be put out in a landscaping job which will not be late because of Lowe's delivery. Not impressed at all.

Quick grower!

Would Recommend

I bought this about 6 weeks ago and went back 2 days ago for another bag to over-seed the front yard. This seed sprouts in just a few days with proper watering. It is easy to spread too, doesnt fly all around in the wind. I would have given it 5 stars but the bag isn't a bag you can reseal which I found inconvenient.
