Smart Seed® Sun and Shade Comparison

  • Pennington® gives you 100% pure seed in every bag. Scott's® TurfBuilder® seed is heavy coated, which they claim helps promote water absorption and retention. Claims about water absorption and retention really don't matter if the water doesn't help to establish the grass.
  • At Pennington, we stand behind our word. When you buy 20 pounds of seed, you get 20 pounds of seed. Scott's TurfBuilder includes only 50% seed and 50% filler.
  • Saves up to 30% water year after year vs. ordinary grass seed.
  • Safe for use around kids, pets and other plants in the yard exactly as Mother Nature intended.
  • Reduced packaging materials decrease cost and waste, saving money and benefitting the environment.

The choice is simple-there is no comparison.
