Can you give specifics on the cultivars?** A: I can't give you specifics, the bag is long gone. I was a little disappointed in the percentages, initially. The results,however, were impressive. **Q: Has anyone used it in north idaho and is it crabgrass as a review stated?** A: Not in northern Idaho, but I used it in western Maine and it worked well. No crabgrass issues. **Q: Is this 100% weed free?** A: Don't know if anything is 100%, but we've been very happy with the grass seed. We live in midcoast Maine and the seed has worked very well for us as long as there is good topsoil to plant it in. Any weeds we had probably came from the topsoil. Our lawns did awesome until the current drought...hope they come back when we get rain again. **Q: Can I still use stand alone fertilizer before or after this for over seeding?** A: i THINK weed kill is a problem not fertilizer ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast sprouting seed *by S***T on May 23, 2026* Great product, very fast to sprout. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality item. *by L***U on June 4, 2026* Helped fill in bald areas I’m my yard. Happy with the seed. Strong, healthy grass. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sprouted within a week *by C***E on October 25, 2021* This area was started the first week of Oct 2021. Watered 2 times a day and saw results within a week. Still needs to thicken up. Update 11/30/2021 almost 2 months later. This is how it looks after it thickened up and has been mowed once since sowed first week of October. Bit of advice, you cannot put down any sort of weed and feed fertilizer within a month and sow seeds. It will not germinate. You most definitely need to water 2 times a day for at least 2 weeks to see results. I double seeded the area again days after first picture was posted and used Scotts seed starter fertilizer as well to get the new growth thickened. This also aid with more germination and growth. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pennington Smart Seed Northeast Grass Mix 20 lb - Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix Bag 7 lb - Pennington Contractors Grass Seed Mix Northern Mix 40 lb --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/271917759-smart-seed-northeast-mix-includes-kentucky-bluegrass-fine-fescues-perennial](https://www.desertcart.us/products/271917759-smart-seed-northeast-mix-includes-kentucky-bluegrass-fine-fescues-perennial) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
