Product Overview
Pennington Annual Ryegrass grass seed is ideal for the quick establishment of a temporary lawn. It is a throw-and-grow seed that can be planted without tilling or digging into the soil and destroying permanent ground cover already in place. Designed for temporary or seasonal lawns. It works in the winter months to provide greening and prevent erosion.
- Fast germination for quick cover
- Can be used for over-seeding dormant warm-weather grasses such as Bermuda and Zoysia to maintain a green lawn year round
- Helpful in erosion control
- Best for full sun to light shade (6-8 hours of sun per day)
- Germinates in 5-10 days
- Covers up to 2,000 sq. ft. for overseeding and approximately 1,000 sq. ft. for a new lawn
- Not recommended for use in warm season lawns

Germinated on day 3
Overseeded our back yard. Just scapled and seeded. Watered twice daily and recieved 4 inches of rain in the first week. By day 10 it was 4-6 inches tall. Good stuff! Highly recommend!

It says "summer grass seed" came in beautifully however once the temos went above 100° it all died off. Now its mushy mess. I couldnt be more dissatisfied. If they said temps above 100 not recommended I wouldnt have purchased two bags and wasted over a hundred dollars. If your temps stay 90° and below this is the grass seed for you. As you can see in the photos my Bermuda grass is thriving the rye is dead.

Response from Pennington TeamAug 3, 2021
Hello, we apologize for your negative experience with planting our grass seed. However, we only recommend using this product in early spring or early fall. Unfortunately, seedlings or immature grass can struggle to survive in hot temperatures, especially cool-season grasses. Depending on how mature your new grass was before the high temperatures occurred, there is a chance it’ll come back when the weather cools down. For further assistance, please reach out to Customer Service at 1-800-285-7333.

The pictures speak for themselves!! I have a spot in my yard that wouldn’t grow, even after laying st. augustine a few years ago.. it thrived everywhere but under the tree as it’s so shaded there. My sister told me she used this product on her lawn so I decided to give it a try since it was so cheap (compared to sod!) I just sprinkled it with my hand right out of the bag, it took maybe 20 minutes tops. Originally I was only watering once per day and I was seeing small growth after about 3 days. But after doing some research, I learned you need to keep the seeds moist for optimal growth so I decided to change my watering to 4x per day, for 8 minutes each and BAM! It took off. It’s so beautiful and lush. I can’t believe a product like this exists after all this time struggling to keep the st. augustine alive in that spot! I also want to note, this product is listed as being for winter but my sisters lawn in Texas stayed green all year long, even in the triple digit temps! Highly recommend this product!

Excellent choice for Winter grass. Within 2 weeks, I had a new lawn. Remember to add a layer of compost to protect your seeds from birds. Watered 2X per day. 4 minutes in the morning, and 8 minutes in the evening.

5 star!
My brother did the job without any experience. It looks awesome now. We didn’t water our front lawn for 5 years. After seeding it, it’s so green in 4 weeks. It’s easy!

Worked as expected. We now have a nice winter lawn coming in where there was previously dirt and sand since this was new construction.
