Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the product to be extremely easy to spread, however. Due to the drought situation in the northeast nothing has sprouted yet, now with degrees hovering around the freezing mark I don't expect any growth until the spring. I will follow-up with you at that time. Thank you for allowing me take part in this survey.

Good Quality Seeds
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I planted these grass seeds at the end of September, when the weather was a bit cooler, which really seemed to help with germination. I started seeing sprouts after about a week, and within two and a half weeks there was noticeable greening across the lawn. There were a few weeds that popped up, but nothing I couldn't handle by picking them out manually. Overall, the results have been great so far, the grass looks healthy and thick. I would def...

Wonderful, I would definitely use again!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff works great! I used it to fill in some bare spots in my yard, and the grass started coming up in about two weeks. It looks super green and healthy now. I like that it grows well in both sunny and shady areas since my yard has a mix. Easy to use and definitely worth it!

Filled in sparsely gown areas great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have large trees in my yard so many areas get spotty sun. As a result, my lawn grows unevenly and many spots die. I planted the Pennington Sun and Shade seed and it's growing nicely. It seems to be more effective than other brands I've used and since it's for sun and shady areas, my lawn looks more even.

Great Fix for Late-Summer Lawn Spots
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used Pennington Rebels Sun & Shade on our part-shade lawn, which had a few thin, dry patches at the end of summer. The seed took nicely-within about two weeks we saw healthy green growth filling in those spots. It blended well with our existing grass and handled both sun and partial shade areas better than expected. A few patches are still catching up, but overall it gave our lawn a much fresher, thicker look heading into fall.

Good for Sun/shade
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] used this in my front yard to fill in some spots that were a little thin. We get full sun majority of day and then shade. Our weather has been weird past few weeks but the seed took well to the few areas we added it to for filling in the thin spots. It seemed to blend well with our grass we have. I would buy this seed again next season.

Filled in nicely!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to overseed my lawn so I spread the seed out and in a few patches I racked up some dryer patches of grass and put some fresh top soil down with a good amount of seed. I watered daily and my lawn is coming along nicely.

I would definitely buy this product.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these seeds on a spot that I had a bunch of planter bags. The area did not get enough sun for the needs of the plants. The area was pretty much dead. I very lightly roughed up the area with my rake. After sprinkling the seed, I gently raked it again. I did multiple gentle watering to make sure I didn't was the seeds away. I really liked the fact that they were green. That way I was able to ensure I had complete cover. I was pleasantly su...

Seemed to make our current grass fuller
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We spread this gifted product in our front and backyards in early September. We have pretty patchy grass in our backyard due to our dogs, etc. Even though we thoroughly watered, this product really only took root in our yard where the grass was already established. Perhaps we didn't prep the patches well - but I was impressed with how it worked where it did.

Too cold in MN, not sure if it would work
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the product at the end of September. It has been a week or two since we spread the seed. We recently had our first frost. No grass has sprouted yet, so can't say if it would work or not. I think it was just too late in the season here in MN.
