Pennington Bermudagrass Grass Seed 5 lb

Too early to tell just how good it will look by the end of summer, but the color is good, a high % germinated, and since I wanted really full coverage, I used 3 lbs. of it to cover about 500 feet instead of 5 lbs. for 5000 square feet.

Product was a waste of money. Not one seed germinated

Bermuda grass is either the bane of one's existence (northerners), or it's the answer to prayers for something green. For the south Texan, it's the latter. You probably don't need my story, but you'll get it anyway. I'm a confessed grass addict. I had the fancy turf, (Tiff Bermuda grass), and it was the envy of my culdesac. Then I moved into the boonies-- former farmland, clay soil, and water restrictions. I wanted grass--nay--needed it. So I bought Blackjack bermuda to replicate something of a fancy turf-- it just didn't pan out. As a backup, I bought Pennington's Bermuda. The first time I bought it, it grew very slowly, but it still grew. Bermuda takes about 3 weeks to germinate, so my seed must have been an average batch--OR SO I THOUGHT. Come to find out, I just didn't have the right conditions. Here's what you need. 1. Get a soil test and find out what nutrients are missing from your soil. pH is also important. 2. You need loose soil. Cover up that seed with loose dirt, or press it down into the dirt with a roller. Peat moss may work. Long story short, you need seed to soil contact. 3. You need a starter fertilizer with the Bermuda seed. 4. Plant at the right time. If it's too hot outside, the seed won't grow too well. I grew my first batch in October, and it was still scorching here in Texas. 5. You need consistency in watering. If you water it well, it will grow. You will need to do this for 3 weeks. Bermuda is a slow grower initially. Believe it or not, you'll still see sprouting seed 5 weeks later. When I bought Pennington for a second time, it grew like wild fire. Planting right in early spring and the weather was simply perfect. I'm about to buy my 3rd seed batch for my final planting project. 20000 sq feet

Works like it should

Ennington Bermuda Grass seed is very nice. We have refurbished ur lawn from a weed bed to a very nice looking lawn. Works in Florida.

Disappointed. Have grown lawns from seed many times. I made sure to have adequate seed spread out and good seed soil contact. Watered twice a day for two weeks and not a single blade. Very disappointed. Would have gotten the same result spreading 50 bucks in nickels on the lawn. I suspect the seed had been sitting for a long period of time in excessive heat or just old seed. Horrible purchase and waste of time and money (and paying to water dirt)

Grass grew great. In a hot climate here in San Antonio seeds were easy to grow. Key to success in getting this grass, or any new seeds, to grow is water, water, and water. I simply watered in the morning, if I stopped home for lunch, and in the evening. Doesn't require a ton of water; just keep the seeds and ground moist. Making a second purchase to reseed other areas needing treatment.

Very disappointed in this seed. Followed instructions meticulously for over seeding an area roughly 20’x60’. Raked it in and kept it watered twice a day for almost 3 weeks. I would guess about 20% actually germinated.
