Review: Grass grows in NO direct sunlight. - The seeds did not sprout quickly, but we figured out that the sprinkler system was washing the seeds away with its force. With a little modification of the water supply, we suddenly had surprisingly good new grass growth, and are delighted to finally have grass in the part of the lawn that NEVER gets direct sunlight. It was easy to prepare the ground, spread the seed, and follow up. We're delighted. Review: Pennington works - Good value for money. Grass slow in growing, but had a nice thickness. Good Quality. Nice texture. If you're battling between Scotts and Pennington for your next purchase, Pennington was the hands down winner for me. Would buy again. ## Features - The perfect mix of Tall Fescue and Fine Fescue to thrive in shady conditions - Grow thick, green grass in areas of your lawn that don't receive much sunlight - Contains just the right amount of fertilizer to help your lawn succeed - Requires only 2 to 6 hours of sunlight - Disease and traffic-resistant for a strong, durable lawn - Save up to 30% more water year after year versus ordinary grass seed - Guaranteed to grow - See results in 8 to 16 days - This bag covers up to 750 sq. ft. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QCGQJT9 | | Brand | Pennington | | Brand Name | Pennington | | Color | Green | | Colour | Green | | Container Material | Plastic | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,719 Reviews | | Expected Blooming Period | Fall | | Expected Plant Height | 3 Inches | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Expected blooming period | Fall | | Included Components | Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix 3 lb | | Item Type Name | Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Item weight | 3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100543702 | | Model Number | 100543702 | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Shade Resistant | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Grass Seeds | | Product Care Instructions | Water | | Soil Type | Sandy Soil | | Special features | Shade Resistant | | Style Name | Grass Mix | | Sunlight Exposure | 2-6 hours | | Sunlight exposure | 2-6 hours | | UPC | 021496022611 | | Unit Count | 48 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pennington - **Colour:** Green - **Expected blooming period:** Fall - **Item weight:** 3 Pounds - **Sunlight exposure:** 2-6 hours ## Images ![Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix 3 lb | Tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, lawn grass seed for shade and hard to grow areas, 2 to 6 hours sunlight - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mP07abfRL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: i am zone 7b and sowed seeds almost 2 weeks now.

I have tried with 3 different applications of this grass seed and supplier, every last time my grass died...not from a lack of water, the grass seed does sprout, but then, its starts to die, again I am watering twice a day, so its not from a lack of poor watering or missing a day...I will try to get a refund but I highly doubt Pennington will honor their product...special note: yea the price is good but so what, if you can't get a good result, the time and effort to grow a good lawn goes out the window, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pennington Smart Seed Dense Shade Grass Mix 3 lb - Pennington Smart Seed Sun and 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? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/518009570-smart-seed-dense-shade-grass-mix-3-lb-tall-fescue](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/518009570-smart-seed-dense-shade-grass-mix-3-lb-tall-fescue) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
