Pennington 100% Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Penkoted Grass Seed

Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue has played a pivotal role in transforming the grass seed industry. This resilient, heat-tolerant variety was among the first to make low-maintenance, disease-resistant lawns achievable for the everyday homeowner. Even today, this affordable and time-tested tall fescue continues to set the benchmark for cool-season lawn grasses.

Thriving in areas that receive four to eight hours of sunlight daily, this hardy, drought-resistant grass can be planted in early spring or early fall, with visible results typically appearing within 8 to 21 days. A single 40-pound bag covers up to 8,000 square feet when overseeding an existing lawn, or up to 3,330 square feet when establishing a new lawn from scratch.

Unlike most grass seed companies that source their seed on the open market, we are the only major grass seed company that works directly with a dedicated network of growers. Our relationships with these seed growers and their families have been built on trust and integrity over decades, and many now span multiple generations. By partnering closely with farmers to deliver the highest-quality grass seed, we help ensure their success — and our own.

At Pennington, we know our seed intimately, and we know the farmers who grow it. This fully integrated approach — from the field to the finished product — is what defines the Pennington way.
