  • 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 5,000 sq. ft. for overseeding and approximately 2,500 sq. ft. for a new lawn

Q:Just purchased my home a few months ago and my yard is brown. I?m having someone sees my yard with this since it seems to sprout within a few days. My question is will I need to reseed each year?

Answer This Question

A:  This is annual seed. annual plants die in the winter season so you must replant them every year, while perennials come back every year so you only plant them once. These annual seeds grow quickly and provide a nice cover to allow slower growing seeds like bluegrass to take hold. You can mix the seeds or buy a mix. Pick the seed mix for sunny or shaded area.

    A:  Yes If you plant annual rye grass. Only likes cool weather. Also I have not had any luck with any other grass seeds. I plan to put in sod grass.

    by|Feb 3, 2023

      A:  Yes. Confusing since the annual part leads you to believe it will come back annually. You need perennial seed to come back each year. Brown lawn sounds like a watering issue. Try clover as a mix in.  Not. A lush lawn but it is hardy.

                Pennington rye grass seed
                Got quick results, fully grew in about 4 weeks. Didn't do much prepping other than raking dead debris from area. Watered 3 times a day and just saw grass coming up every day, extremely impressed

                  We use this every winter. It performs consistently and this year within a week, we had sprouts. In another week or two, we’ll have lush green grass again

                  Did not germinate
                  The grass seed just sat there. No germination what so ever. I’m very disappointed. I’ve planting annual rye grass the last three years and I’ve always been successful. Not this batch.

                  Hello, Grass seed can take 7 to 14 days provided that the soil temperature is warm enough to support germination. If the weather has not been consistently warm germination can take longer. Please contact customer service 1-800-285-7333 so that we may assist you further. Thank you. pennington

                    Patchy Grass
                    The grass seed came in patchy. I am watering on the recommended schedule but it is only taking in certain parts. Home depot doesn't carry any other competing brands of rye grass so this is what I was stuck with.

                      Very good grass!
                      These are some very good seeds, at first I was skeptical since no grass I tried grows in my area but this took off! After about 4 days I started seeing grass, and after 2 weeks everything was covered in lush grass.
