Nancy M.: Works only if you water the heck out of it. But where it did grow it grew very lush, dark thick blades of grass. I can easily distinguish it from my bermuda because it's very dark green. If you live in south texas, don't try to put it out until late fall when we have cool weather and regular rainfall. In other words, when the ground can stay moist for more than a day at a time.

Ginny Nichols: I find it more effective than similar Scott's product. However, it still does only at best an average job in my yard. Little or no growth in shade. Coating reduces amount of actual seed and no advantage.

J. Greene: I have a very shady area of lawn just off of my covered carport and under a large maple. I planted Scott's Sun and Shade three times over two summers. Kept watering, kept babying it. And it just kept dying. Tiny little threadlike blades of grass that were so delicate a good rain would lay them all flat.
The Pennington Sun and Shade came up very fast (3-10 days because this is a mix of seeds that have various germination times). The grass has thicker, healthier blades than the Scott's. It looks like nearly every seed germinated. I planted in September in Tennessee. Kept a timed sprinkler on it, running 5 minutes every two hours during the day. So far, 4 weeks later, I am extremely pleased. Dark green, healthy grass. When it got 4 inches tall I VERY delicately weed-eated the grass down to 3". To encourage the grass to branch out rather than just grow a tall, central blade. Very pleased with this seed.
Note: No matter what size bag you get, it is only 50% seed. It says it right on the bag. The other 50% is additives, coatings, green stuff, and probably old-fashioned paper and/or cellulose for weight. Just be aware you are only getting HALF the seed you think you are getting....

WNCCarolineWNCCaroline: We ordered the Pennington Smart Seed (Sun & Shade) in early April and followed the directions our landscaper suggested. Basically, the area we desperately needed to grow grass was bare dirt (left over from a construction project) so we tilled about 6 inches deep, sewed the seed heavily, and strawed the top. Then came the watering and more watering...and even more watering! Luckily May in the the Southern U.S. was wet so that helped as well. I will admit I thought it would never germinate but finally could see some fine "baby" grass. It has now been a little over 2 1/2 months and the grass is very thick and healthy. It took a lot of followup care but the yard has filled in beautifully. We have just ordered two more bags as there is still a section to landscape. The keys....WATER and PATIENCE!
7/26/2018. We sewed two more bags of Pennington Smart Seed Sun and Shade Grass Seed one week ago today. It has rained almost daily (thunderstorms) since then. Noticed today we already have baby grass! It is about an inch tall...just enough to see some green color through the straw. Still think this is the best grass seed we have found!
10/30/2019. Bought and sewed another bag...
