## Overview

Pennington The Rebels Tall Fescue Shady Grass Seed Mix is a premium turf-type tall fescue designed for shaded and challenging lawn areas. It requires only 2 to 6 hours of sunlight, covers up to 5,000 sq.ft., and delivers rapid germination within 8 to 16 days. With thick, deep roots offering superior drought, heat, and traffic resistance, this mix produces a darker, denser, and greener lawn than traditional tall fescues, making it the go-to choice for low-maintenance, high-performance lawns since 1979.

## Description

Most grasses require at least four hours of sunlight to survive, which can make growing grass in shady areas a frustrating task. With the premium tall fescue varieties that The Rebels is known for, Shady Lawn Mix offers the ideal solution for these challenging areas. This grass is tough. It has thick, deep, and dense roots that result in excellent drought and traffic tolerance. Plus, it only needs 2 to 6 hours of sunlight. Plant it in early spring or early fall and see results in 8 to 16 days. This 20-pound bag covers up to 5,000 square feet for overseeding an existing lawn and 1,660 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: Great Dark Green Color. - Planted under dense tree cover. It came up slow, but filling in quick. I was surprised because the area gets very little sun light.
Review: Shady grass - I couldn’t be happier with this grass seed! I used it to patch up some bare spots in my yard, and within just a couple of weeks, I saw thick, green growth. The grass is vibrant, soft, and blends in perfectly with the existing lawn. It germinated quickly, even in areas that don’t get a ton of sun. I followed the watering instructions closely, and the results really speak for themselves. Great value and amazing quality—I’ll definitely be buying more for future touch-ups!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Dark Green Color.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shady grass
*by G***E on April 13, 2025*

I couldn’t be happier with this grass seed! I used it to patch up some bare spots in my yard, and within just a couple of weeks, I saw thick, green growth. The grass is vibrant, soft, and blends in perfectly with the existing lawn. It germinated quickly, even in areas that don’t get a ton of sun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beware, Only 50% seed by weight!
*by A***S on September 25, 2025*

I purchased this product to patch my backyard lawn. When I received the product, I found out that this product is only 50% actual seeds(half the weight). The balance is the coating I assume. No where in the Amazon description shows the contents, unless I missed it somewhere. This product is similar to the Scotts products I believe and my intention was to avoid that type. Unfortunately, I needed it asap and used it before the timely rain that afternoon. In addition, I ended up buying additional seed at my local landscaping store which was cheaper since I was buying 100% seed per pound. I wish I would have just sent it back. We’ll see how it germinates.
