About Pennington
Pennington sells grass seed, fertiliser and wild bird feed, founded in Georgia in 1945. It is the main competitor to Scotts in American grass seed and is one of Central Garden & Pet's largest brands. Grass seed is sold in regional mixes, because the species that survive in the American south differ entirely from those in the north.
