## Description

Tall fescue is valued for its adaptability to a wide range of climates and its tolerances for cold, heat, drought and shade. Ideal for the northern and transition zones, Pennington The Rebels Tall Fescue has represented the finest quality of tall fescue on the market for decades. This grass is tough. It has thick, deep, and dense roots that result in excellent drought and traffic tolerance. In areas of your yard that receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight, plant it in early spring or early fall and see results in 8 to 16 days. This 40-pound bag covers up to 10,000 square feet for overseeding an existing lawn and 3,330 square feet for starting a new lawn from scratch. The Roots of the Rebels Brand dates back to 1979, when turf researchers at Rutgers University released a revolutionary new grass. Known as 'Rebel,' it was the very first example of what's now known as turf-type tall fescue. Compared to traditional tall fescue, Rebel offered lower growth, finer texture, darker color and denser turf — plus the drought tolerance that makes turf-type tall fescue a homeowner favorite. Generations later, with up to 40 percent more roots than ordinary grass, The Rebels Brand Extended Root seed varieties represent the best turf-type tall fescue on the market. With roots like those, it's only natural that The Rebels Brand carries the Pennington name.

Review: I removed this grass after it grew but it seems to be a solid product - Hello, I'm somewhat of a grass growing novice. I did plant this and it grew unexpectedly well but in the end I did not like how it looked with the rest of my lawn (not the product's fault). I spent 4 hours removing the tall fescue I recently grew with a weed puller, re-soiling and planting a thinner/finer grass. The reason I'd give this product positive reviews is that the product grew really well and it did have deep roots. The issue is I didn't know it would look so bunchy in my lawn and it seemed to be growing faster than my other grass which caused an uneven lawn. If I needed this grass to prevent soil erosion such as my backyard where no one really sees or go much I would buy this product again. The roots being that deep definitely has benefits and requires less maintenance eventually. It is also removable if with a weed puller or I'm sure herbicides if you need to change grass types or don't like it. Update: I've increased the review to 5 stars after trying many other grasses. I landscaped/cleared brush on a large steep hill to improve access to my backyard as my house is built into a hill. I removed so much plant life that I wanted to replace it with grass asap. I chose this grass again due to low maintenance and it is starting to grow.
Review: Great grass seed! - While I’m not an over the top lawn person… I do try to follow the basic guidelines of recommended mower heights, Fall reseeding, … but living in a rural area without ‘city water’ results in having to almost totally depend on Mother Nature for proper moisture… although I will occasionally use our 200’ deep well water to ‘save’ the grass. Been here 23 yrs and a bit of an experimenter trying different grass seed in different areas of the yard. Result… using Tall Fescue for the recommended Fall reseeding really makes a difference. Not ‘expert enough to know why… just seeing the difference come Spring… and the continued healthy growth it’s deep roots still provides through Summer drought periods keeps convincing me to stay with this type of seed for Fall reseeding

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prep, patience & practice
*by J***J on October 6, 2023*

I like this seed, I don’t love it. I purchased a 3lb and 7lb bag for my 1000 sq ft area to seed. I live in a transition zone 5b. High desert (very dry, low humidity with little to no rain) and 7000 ft in elevation. (Northern NM) I spent a week prepping the area by hand tilling the soil and burnt the weeds prior with a weed torch. The window for seeding here is very small. I finished the prep on a Saturday with temps in the high 80’s and watered, seeded, start fertilized and covered with a frost cloth to keep the seedlings moist on Sunday when the weather dropped to the 70’s with lows in the 40’s. The last picture is today, day 27 since seeding Sept 9th. I watered 3 times a day and left the frost cloth covering on for about the first 2 weeks until I saw decent germination. Due to the environment here, straw covering doesn’t work because we get too much wind. A local greenhouse owner gave me the cloth tip a few years ago and it’s been a really successful way to seed here. It allows water, sunlight and air to penetrate through the frost cloth. I purchased 2 here on Amazon (10x50 feet I think they were). I would say germination was about 75%. I will fertilize and overseed again in the spring and fall next year. After that, I have a lot of clover to battle with. I’m satisfied with the results compared to the before but will probably move to a Scott’s rapid tall fescue next time I seed. I used a Scott’s “seeding” fertilizer with a pre-emergent for weeds that “supposedly” wont negatively effect the germination. I did still have tons of new clover come up but it didn’t appear to effect the germination rate of the tall fescue. Now, at day 27 I just have to water once a day-cut back last week. I still have to keep an eye on the weather as we do get freezes this time of year. I simply cover with the cloth until after day 45 (since seeding) at night if the temps get down to freezing. The cloth protects the new grass down to 21 degrees Fahrenheit. If you live in an easier climate with a better window, you will probably get better results than I did. It’s a difficult place to seed grass here but a learning process, none the less. I’m up for the challenge.
