Review: Combined this with the Pennington Kentucky 31 as my front lawn had many bald/dead spots. Seeded my lawn 1 month ago and am Very Happy with the growth. Absolutely love the GREEN~especially in AZ landscaping! I also used a lawn fertilizer to help boost growth :)
Review: I got this to mix into Bermuda grass so in the winter some of the grass would still be green. Didn’t expect it to sprout because it’s summer time and hot as heck. This is a cool weather grass. We got a ton of rain and it grew like weeds (probably not the right term to use with grass; ha ha!). We had a ton of rain and this started growing 2 days after the first rain. Sprouted immediately. The Bermuda I planted in some bare areas of the lawn still has not germinated at all. Those bare spots are all dense perennial rye grass now. Have no idea what happened. It’s crazy!!! This is the easiest growing grass ever except in areas under tree that get partial sun. That hasn’t germinated at all. No Bermuda or perennial rye grass, still just dirt, lol. Buy this stuff no matter where you live. It will sprout and stay growing even if there is no rain. We’re in hottest part of summer now with no rain and this stuff is still popping up everywhere and going strong. Amazing!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of ryegrass is this?**
A: It’s a perennial rye grass. The exact type, I have no idea. All I know is that I’m not great with lawns, and the area that was seeded was very hard dirt and rock. Difficult to dig deep to make a bed for grass or plants. I worked the dirt, what I could, and put a planting soil mix on the ground and then worked the soil into the dirt. I then sprinkled the seeds in the soil and worked that into the soil. The rye grass grew quickly. Looks great. I also used the rye grass for over seeding. All I did was sprinkle that over the lawn and watered. That also grew quickly with little work.

**Q: Does it have a coating?**
A: Yes.  With a fertilizer.   PENNINGTON® CALCIUM
NITRATE ENHANCEMENT for greener lawns and quicker results

**Q: What is the fertlizer made of?**
A: CALCIUM
NITRATE

**Q: Çan I grow it in winter, like January?**
A: Yes, it is a cool weather grass!

Pennington Smart Seed Perennial Ryegrass germinated quickly — I saw growth in just over a week. It creates a thick, vibrant green lawn that looks great and holds up well to light foot traffic, making it very functional for everyday use. It does best with consistent moisture and full or partial sun, and while it handles moderate heat fairly well, I had to water more frequently during hotter days to keep it from drying out. Some shady areas needed reseeding, but overall, the coverage and durability were impressive. For the price, it offers solid value for money, especially if you’re willing to give it a little extra attention in problem spots.
