Sun grass seed - 2kg

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.

- Clear the surface of any debris.
- Spread a 4 to 6 inch layer of potting soil over the entire surface
-Spread the seeds evenly.
-Add a layer of potting soil about 1/4 inch over the entire surface.
-Keep the soil moist until the lawn is established (without it being saturated with water), for about 20 days. The jet must be weak so as not to carry away the seeds.
-Mow the lawn when it has reached a height of approximately 4 inches.

- Aerate the soil (ideally)
- Mow the lawn very short, about 5 cm (2 in)
- Pull out as many weeds as possible.
- Spread the seeds evenly, making sure they come into contact with the soil.
- Keep the soil moist until the lawn is established (without saturating it with water), for about 20 days.

- Mow the lawn very short, about 2 in.
- Rake yellowed or damaged lawn
- Pull out as many weeds as possible
- Spread a 1/2-inch thick layer of seed compost over the entire desired surface.
- Spread the seeds evenly.
- Add a layer of potting soil about 1/4 inch over the entire surface.
- Keep the soil moist until the lawn is established (without it being saturated with water), for about 20 days. The jet must be weak so as not to carry away the seeds.
- Mow the lawn when it has reached a height of approximately 4 inches.

Seed should be applied 5 to 7 days after using a herbicide. Herbicide should not be applied to new seedlings until four weeks after seeding. Fertilizer can be applied before, during, or after seeding. Insecticide can be applied before, during, or after seeding.

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 our mix.

Perennial ryegrass (35%): 5 to 10 days
Kentucky Bluegrass (20%): 14 to 21 days
Grass fescue (5%): 7 to 14 days
Tall fescue (40%): 10 to 14 days

Estimated first shoots:

Since perennial ryegrass is 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
Grass fescue and tall fescue: 7 to 14 days
Kentucky Bluegrass: 14 to 21 days

Conclusion :

You should start to see the first shoots of your lawn in about 5-10 days, mainly due to the rapid germination of the perennial ryegrass. The other species will complement the mix and contribute to a dense, robust lawn as they germinate and grow.
