What Customers Are Saying

The Pennington Rebel Shade grass seed has received mixed reviews. While some customers reported excellent results, with the seed growing well in shaded areas and providing good coverage, others experienced poor germination rates and disappointing outcomes. The positive reviews highlight the seed's ability to thrive in shade, with customers noting it grew quickly, was durable, and produced a lush, green lawn. However, a significant number of customers were dissatisfied, reporting very low germination rates and issues with unwanted weeds or grasses. The consensus seems to be that the seed can be effective for growing grass in shaded areas, but its performance may be inconsistent.

I ordered and paid for a 20 lb bag of Shady Seed and received a 7 lb bag of Tall Fescue. Can you please send me what I ordered? I am happy to return the wrong item.

I got this seed on the ground just in time for a week long thunderstorms. Unfortunately that’s what killed it to. Will try again later

Shady

Would Recommend

Super impressed with this grass seed. It germinated fast, filled in the bare shady spots, and the lawn feels soft and dense. Even with regular mowing, it stays healthy and green. Great quality and great results.

As good as you invest in elbow grease

Would Recommend

If you want grass to grow,you have to really take the time to prepare the dirt or better yet mix the seed into fresh dirt. Then cover with peat moss.
