Pennington Smart Seed Bermudagrass MIx
Grow a thick, green lawn with less work using Pennington Smart Seed Bermudagrass Mix, a premium grass seed and fertilizer combination designed for lawns in full sun. Backed by decades of grass breeding expertise, Smart Seed combines premium grass seed with innovative technology to help lawns thrive in challenging conditions. Once established, typically in about eight weeks, Smart Seed grass becomes more drought tolerant and requires less regular watering than ordinary grass seed. That means you can enjoy a lawn that stays greener longer under drought conditions while using less water over the life of your lawn. A built-in fertilizer coating helps your lawn green up as it establishes, while Penkoted® seed technology helps establish grass in difficult environments. Ideal for planting a new lawn or overseeding existing turf, this Bermudagrass mix performs best in areas receiving 8 or more hours of daily sunlight and when planted in spring or early summer with average daily temperatures between 60°F and 80°F, helping you grow a thick, lush lawn with less work and less worry.
