FAQ
What makes all-purpose seed different from other seeds?
1. Creeping red fescue (40%):
Shade Tolerance: Good ability to grow in partially shaded areas, increasing the versatility of the mix.
Drought Resistance: Excellent drought tolerance, allowing for a green lawn even in arid conditions.
Propagation by rhizomes: Spreads via rhizomes, which provides a dense, even coverage, ideal for repairing damaged areas.
2. Kentucky bluegrass (20%):
Durability: Forms a dense, durable turf, perfect for general purpose lawns.
Stress Resistance: Excellent resistance to heat and drought, contributing to the overall robustness of the lawn.
Fast recovery: Good regenerative capacity after periods of stress or damage.
3. Perennial ryegrass (40%):
Rapid germination: The first shoots appear in 5 to 10 days, allowing rapid soil coverage.
Trampling Resistance: Tolerates moderate trampling well, making it ideal for residential lawns and play areas.
Adaptability: Adapts well to different soil and climate conditions, adding to the versatility of the mix.
Distinctive features:
Versatility: The mix is suitable for a wide variety of conditions including sunny, partially shaded, dry or moist areas.
Speed of establishment: Thanks to the significant presence of perennial ryegrass, the lawn establishes quickly, providing rapid initial coverage.
Resilience and durability: The combination of these grasses ensures a durable lawn, capable of withstanding trampling and varied climatic conditions.
Weed Reduction: Dense coverage reduces the opportunity for weed growth, ensuring a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing lawn.
When to sow?
Spring :
When?: From mid-April to mid-June.
Advantages: The soil warms up, and temperatures are moderate, which promotes rapid germination and good growth of young plants. In addition, spring rains help keep the soil moist.
Disadvantages: Competition with weeds may be more intense, and regular watering may be necessary if the spring is dry.
Late summer to early fall:
When?: From mid-August to the end of September.
Pros: Temperatures are still warm, but nights are getting cooler, creating ideal conditions for grass germination and establishment. There is generally less competition from weeds, and the soil stays moist thanks to fall rainfall.
Disadvantages: Time for establishment before winter sets in is limited, so it is crucial to sow early enough to allow young plants to root.
By seeding in spring or late summer, you give your lawn the best chance to establish and thrive.

How long does it take before you see some grass?
With the composition of the seed mix, germination times may vary depending on the grass species included. Here is an overview of typical germination times for each type of seed in this mix:
Creeping red fescue (40%): 10 to 14 days
Kentucky Bluegrass (20%): 14 to 21 days
Perennial ryegrass (40%): 5 to 10 days
Estimated first shoots:
Since perennial ryegrass is one of the dominant species and has the shortest germination time, you can expect to see the first perennial ryegrass shoots appear in about 5 to 10 days after sowing. The other species will follow:
Perennial ryegrass: 5 to 10 days
Creeping red fescue: 10 to 14 days
Kentucky Bluegrass: 14 to 21 days
Conclusion :
You should start seeing the first shoots of your lawn in about 5 to 10 days, mainly due to the rapid germination of perennial ryegrass. Creeping red fescues will follow shortly after, in 10 to 14 days, while Kentucky bluegrass will take the longest, with visible shoots in 14 to 21 days.
