Growing in fabulous!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used Pennington Rebels Sun & Shade Mix to overseed my patchy backyard lawn this fall, and overall I'm quite pleased with the results. It's been a very warm fall, I had a noticeable improvement in lawn density & general look.

Acceptable filler seed

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My back yard has a high traffic spot where we have struggled to grow acceptable grass. Typically we see bald spots appear throughout the summer. This year we put the Pennington Rebels grass seed in a few bald spots with some new loam and fertilizer. It has been on for 3 weeks and we are just starting to see the grass grow. It has not fully filled in the spots yet like i was hoping but have hopes that it will continue to grow strong through the ...

This product worked well

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a patch of grass next to and under an evergreen that was filled with creeping charlie. My husband and I removed the weeds and used Pennington Rebels Sun and Shade to fill in. We have only grass growing in this area now and hoping the weeds don't come back. We also used this product to fill in other parts of our lawn. We have many mature oaks and the sun and shade works well.

Grass started growing after a few days!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been trying to regrow the grass in our backyard forever and honestly, this is the first seed that has grown and stayed put. I am seriously impressed. Our dogs haven't destroyed it despite walking on it either; it's very durable! I will absolutely be getting more to patch in the bare spots and overseed the lawn in the future.

Grew in patches

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this seed, but it didn't really perform the way I expected. I followed the directions carefully, and while a few patches started to sprout, most of the seed never took. After a few weeks, the results were spotty and uneven. Definitely not the lush coverage I was looking, like something with emojis and a quick "before/after" vibe?

It is green

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are very wonderful seeds that grow quickly, are closely spaced, produce abundant weeds, are a very beautiful green color, are very, very close together, grew quickly, do not need much care, filled all the spaces in my garden, I liked them very much and will not do without them in my garden.

Quality seed

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy to receive this grass seed product. I love the brand, pennington, because it's a good brand that you can trust. The seeds were of great quality. I used the entire bag at an area in my cabin that was very sparse. Everything has been working and growing wonderfully.
