Product Information

As a general rule, cold-season grasses, which include bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue, do best in the northern half of the U.S. and are at their peak during the spring and summer when temperatures aren’t too hot. They will go dormant in the highest summer temperatures or the lowest winter temperatures. Brian Feldman notes, "The best time to plant cool-weather grasses is usually either mid to late spring or late summer through early fall, when temperatures are around 55 degrees. This allows enough rain to keep the soil moist and aid germination, and provides enough daylight to ensure that the grass can out-compete weeds and diseases." The best month to plant grass seed does vary from zone to zone: in northern zones, it might be late August or September; in southern zones, in October or November. The grass seed likes warm soil but cooling temperatures. When conditions are like this, it is the best time to plant grass seed. When to plant grass seed in spring

That means raking the soil to loosen it and removing any dead grass or other debris, applying the seed evenly (ideally with a spreader, not by merely tossing out handfuls of seed), gently raking the seed into the soil, and watering daily to keep the soil moist—not soggy—until the seedlings are at least 2 inches high. Ideally, you should plant this seed in either the spring or the fall, when temperatures are between 60 and 80 degrees F. Application rate: 500g per 18.6m² (1.1lbs per 200sq ft). If using a Scotts lawn spreader, the guide setting is 6 for new lawns, 5 if reseeding. There are many different types of grass seed, and within those types, many different hybrid varieties that have been bred for various strengths, such as drought resistance, disease resistance, or heat resistance. Generally, when you buy a bag of grass seed, it will contain a mix of more than one type of grass. A lawn that’s made up of more than one grass type generally can withstand disease and other rough conditions more successfully than a lawn that’s only one kind of grass. When choosing your bag of seed, it helps to know the various types of grass that it includes. Here are some of the most common grass types: Grass seed can be expensive, especially if you need to cover a large stretch of ground. This blend of tall fescue is fairly reasonably priced, and a 7-pound bag will cover up to 1,750 square feet when used to overseed an existing lawn. Vigoro does not state the coverage for a new lawn, but as a rough guideline, this amount of fescue seed should cover up to 1,000 square feet of bare soil.

If warm season grasses are planted in the fall, they are not able to become well established enough to compete with weeds, leading to a weaker lawn by the time summer rolls around.
