I planted it with no prep April 25 and forgot about it. Some of the area was a little lower lying so water settles there but we had little rain in the past weeks and as I mowed June 12, wow, I see not only did it fill in the whole area where it was cast, but it actually was enough growth to go ahead and run the mower over the area.The color is a slightly lighter green, in keeping with the main yard. The KY fescue usually shows up kind of dark green/blue. I scattered the leftover out back in shade and I see it's popping up well there too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smart Seed *by on Reviewed in the United States August 4, 2026* Easy to use/apply.Great results.An exceptional value overall. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for small patches *by on Reviewed in the United States October 25, 2025* Works great for small patches about the size of a washcloth. Didn't work much on bigger spots. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pennington Smart Seed Sun and Shade Grass Mix 3 lb - Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix 3 lb - Scotts PatchMaster Lawn Repair Mix Sun + Shade Mix, Combination Grass Seed, Fertilizer, and Mulch, 4.75 lbs. --- ## 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/275477442-pennington-smart-seed-sun-and-shade-mix-north-grass-seed](https://www.desertcart.us/products/275477442-pennington-smart-seed-sun-and-shade-mix-north-grass-seed) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
